Belarus is not the Middle East. The policies of Belarussian and Middle Eastern leaders are cardinally different from one another. ”

You need to control the country, and the main thing is not to ruin people's lives. ”

I believe it is important for both Russia and Europe that Belarus is a sovereign, independent state where Europeans can feel at home. ”

The Belarussian people trust their army and are confident in the reliability of the national security system. ”

If you get a child when you're 50, you'll understand what children are. ”

I am reproached for allegedly preparing my children, my eldest son, as a successor. I swear to you I have never discussed this idea, even with my family or with my sons. ”

I'm an advocate of evolutionary, not revolutionary, changes. ”

I repeat for the umpteenth time, without making apologies: My children have had more than their fair share of presidency under their father. There cannot be any hereditary transfer of power. ”

It is time to stop the anarchy on the Internet. We cannot allow this great technological achievement of man to be turned into an information garbage heap. ”

Belarus will become the first government in the world that opens wide opportunities for the use of blockchain technology. ”
