MINSK, 17 August (BelTA) – We need to save our country which also belongs to the future generations, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a rally in Minsk on 16 August, BelTA has learned.
The president recalled the things he said earlier that the election campaign would be interesting and it would become even more interesting after it. “Save Belarus, as it no longer belongs to us, but to our children and grandchildren. We have somehow lived our life to the present day. What will we leave for them? Present times are difficult. That is why I have asked you to come. I have asked you to come to protect the country, to support the people to fight for you, for your future,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state once again thanked the people who have joined the rally. “You have shown that you are the masters – from Bragin, Volkovysk, Mogilev and Vitebsk – of this country and this capital. They [the opponents to the current authorities] will remember our meeting here long. Thank you very much!” the president said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko also expressed gratitude to servicemen and veterans, rural workers and factory workers and called upon the latter not to allow their companies be given away as it would be impossible to return them.
