MINSK, 22 November (BelTA) - It is easy to demand changes, but it is difficult to implement them, 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.
"One of the topics for our conversation is changes (the assistants did not outline this topic but I offer to discuss this ). All kinds of changes. This is the topic or topics that we should go over today and talk frankly. Let's discuss this thing. If we talk about changes, what kind of changes do you want? It is easy to demand changes, but it is difficult to identify them, and then implement them. It is you who will effect them," the head of state said.
He noted that now the country is living through a period when one can speak out and express one’s point of view. The answer to the main question will be given on 26 January during the presidential election in Belarus. “Just do it like people with higher education, cultured, without noise. Do so as not to interfere with others, because each of you has different points of view, and I would like you not to step on the toes of each other while expressing your positions and point of view," the Belarusian leader said.
