MINSK, 11 August (BelTA) – The state will find a way out in any situation and will not leave its enterprises in trouble. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement as he met with employees of the organizations located at premises of Minsk National Airport on 11 August, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “You should pay less attention to the pressure that the crazy West exercises against our enterprises, including the airport and [the flag carrier] Belavia. We will find a way out in any situation and will not leave our enterprises in trouble. When this madness began after Ryanair [flight 4978 incident], I told the pilot of my aircraft: pass the word to the guys that we will not leave them in trouble and tell me what needs to be done during the next flight. He reported to me before the next flight and we made decisions. This is why we will leave no one in trouble.”
“The world is interconnected. Only crazy people can destroy this dependence. They will fail. We will persevere. They don’t need competitors, this is why they pressure us. But it is a good evaluation for us,” he noted.
