MINSK, 29 January (BelTA) – Those who think that a maidan-type revolution can happen in Belarus should get this idea out of their heads, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said during the meeting with journalists on 29 January, BelTA has learned.

“If someone has this crazy idea that maidan can or will happen in Belarus, the earlier he gets this out of his head, the better. Maidan will never happen in Belarus,” the head of state stressed.

Alexander Lukashenko noted that as the President of Belarus he has enough powers and authority to stop a fratricidal war. “Nobody – neither you, or me, or anyone of those who are listening to us – needs another maidan. Indeed, there are some thugs. But this is what the authorities are there for: to neutralize them and prevent them from shooting at each other. We will not let anyone to wage war in Belarus,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
