MINSK, 22 November (BelTA) – I am ready to visit the History Faculty of Belarusian State University and give a lecture on the modern Belarusian statehood, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a Q&A session titled “Open Microphone with the President” at Minsk State Linguistic University on 22 November, BelTA has learned.
At a meeting with the head of state, a student of the BSU History Faculty noted that the History Faculty recently celebrated the 90th anniversary and that the building on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street in Minsk will reopen soon after renovations. By the way, this is where the history of higher education in Belarus began. The student asked the president to visit the History Faculty and give a lecture on modern Belarusian statehood. "You are the person who has witnessed many high-key historical events," he said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko immediately cautioned that the lecture would be long. Even two hours would not ne enough to cover the major events. "If you agree to this, then I will think of the time to meet with you after the election. Even if I am not president, I am ready to meet with historians, I love history. But, probably, I will not be able to cover everything in detail so that you understand what we have achieved together with you," the head of state said.
"A course might be needed," one of the students, the moderator of the meeting, said.
"Yes, maybe," the president concurred and heard laughter in the hall.
"You are trolling me, aren't you? Well, I see," the president smiled and heard students laugh again.
