Lukashenko: Belarusians will not let the country descend into chaos

MINSK, 1 October (BelTA) - The Belarusian authorities have never let anyone to undermine the country’s stability and plunge it into chaos, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he received credentials from ambassadors at the Palace of Independence in Minsk on 1 October, BelTA has learned.

“The next reason for external attacks on Belarus will be, obviously, the upcoming presidential election campaign (those attacks on Belarus have already started). They have probably already launched their work on plans to ‘overthrow the regime’ and ask for millions of US dollars in grants for these useless purposes. They do this every five years. I would like to immediately disappoint the masterminds: we have never let anyone to undermine the country’s stability and plunge it into chaos, and we will never let this happen,” the Belarusian leader said.

“There is no need for our people to campaign for Belarus. They know that they are Belarus. Strong, stable and independent. Only the Belarusian people have the right to decide their own fate, whether someone likes it or not,” the president said.
