president of the republic of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko

dear friends i am absolutely aware of this. it just so happened, perhaps by the command of the lord . perhaps, you and i had such a policy, that millions of millions of eyes are watching this hall today? we are concentrated in this hall today. great minds of our humanity. sorry for the indiscretion, i will not hide it outside our country. i know you are very worried, so let's relax and get to work. i carefully, of course, followed all your wishes in in mass media. i saw who and

what i would like to hear today. i understand you, but you understand me today i am limited by certain limits. first, this is the president's annual message. secondly, it is a concentrated look at the situation in the country and beyond its borders and tasks for the future, and thirdly. we have provided answers to questions. this is such a democratic move. it has long been undertaken by us in parliament and the president. and if i have not touched on any issue , some problem that our state people face. you have an opportunity to clarify something or ask an additional question. i think that together with you we will find answers today to all the questions that our society faces. the topic

of our today's event, if it can be designated as such in general terms, the conditions preservation of sovereignty and independence why i submit this topic to your judgment for the judgment of many millions of our citizens. everything is very simple never before in the history of our country, especially our independent belarus , the issue of sovereignty and never before in history have we approached such a dangerous line of independence, when it is necessary to pay special attention, to put it mildly, to the preservation of the sovereignty and independence of our country. therefore, i will try to voice the main condition, from my point of view, of course, this is not

an absolute condition - it is not their absolute number, which will be voiced here, however. in my opinion, the main ones, and already through them i will try to determine our current tasks, first of all, for the current year, since this is the annual message of the president, but, naturally, through current problems. we will try to look beyond the horizon to look and think, and which way to go, and what mistakes we made and what will we do? tomorrow and the day after. well, of course, we will start with the general, without which it is impossible to determine the tasks that are neither current nor promising. for more than a quarter of a century, dear friends, in our country there has been a tradition of the annual address of the president to the belarusian people and

parliament, this is a kind of political dialogue, in which all the president , government, leaders of all levels participate deputies, public organizations and our citizens, the questions that we raise concerns every belarus topic that we discuss from life. at the center of the decisions that we make is the desire to preserve peace, building for the benefit of the future of belarus, social justice. these are our democratic values. true values, i will say more. this is the basis of our national idea, which the present time has vividly defined, and we must all serve this idea in word and deed, especially now, when there is less and less space on the planet for safe and worthy life. striving for peaceful construction in spite of the challenges posed by

time. we are belarusians. not alone are few who like to see how sparks along the line, west east. as new dividing lines appear, ironclad falls again, no one wants to experience the consequences of insane and unhelpful sanctions wars. and this is the main thing, the peoples do not understand how the ideology of the global international project of sustainable development can be compatible with such achievements of our time as the famine of the epidemic never happened, the moral degradation of rampant anomalous values ​​has never happened before in world history. such a development can hardly be called civilizational, just like the fact that the world spends trillions of dollars on killing people and ruining states, and not

on building. this is the deepest crisis, a comprehensive multilateral crisis, largely man-made to destroy competitors, this has never happened before in history. what will be the way out of it is still unknown, but everyone understands that the philosophy of the world order will change, the world will be completely different. that's the whole point historical moment, a premonition of epochal change. literally hovering in the air just like the question. what will be our tomorrow and before trying to look, as i said beyond the horizon, yes, an honest and principled assessment of the event that played the role of a trigger. in a process that can no longer be stopped. unfortunately you can't. remember how all the known conflicts

of the last decades began. from the indefatigable desire from the west to subjugate the whole world and not even the west of one country. from the transition of self-sufficient sometimes very strong truly independent states under external control. it, like a virus, penetrated into the political life of the country, either through the current government or through the opposition, as a rule, through the elites, plunging into frenzied corruption, because whoever has what to lose whoever has a foreign bank account with six zeros will serve anyone and as you like, it happens that under external control. entire nations turned out to be drugged by the ideas of creating new countries of a new order, a new perfect society. all those beaten horses. they grew up, of course.

similarly, ideologically, bombs were planted in all the former soviet republics. and now we see how they detonate. first, the country is covered by soft cultural expansion, soft power, and then the floor of the boots of a foreign mercenary is trampled. that is, while the people are distracted by the struggle by themselves, renouncing the past traditions, carried away by the national question and all sorts of liberalist land projects. resources. national values ​​become the property of foreign corporations and financial institutions. and for management exactly the places are selected by the type of our poor. the territory of the country is turning into a field for military biological political ideological experiments . as a result

, the new so-called enlightened society turns out to be on the verge of non-shields, in other words, trouble comes to the country where people themselves open the door to it. the most revealing, very dramatic example is very close by near our southern border, where the slaughter will not stop until the overseas master gives the go-ahead. don't the people of ukraine need peace? well, who cares about this opinion the people themselves. here you have all the independence, which we did not talk about. whatever processes are analyzed in our time. we are constantly relying on the situation in ukraine. let us , at least in general terms, touch on it, but i would like to point out. in this format, i do not want to dive deep into the events of the ukrainian

crisis. although i was at the epicenter of this crisis. like no one else, i was immersed in what is happening in ukraine, and now i have not got out of there. i am there, maybe even more than the individual ones who should be thus immersed in the causes of development and the consequences of this conflict, therefore purely schematic. in the middle of the second decade of the current century, not russia and not belarus carried out a coup d'état in fraternal ukraine from that time began the countdown of what is happening so far. leapfrog in power, exorbitant corruption does not account for the vast majority of the population, unacceptable nationalism with elements of fascism, the ban on the russian language , the destruction of everything connected with the period

of the soviet union of the heroic past, demolition. the monument to the renaming of streets and the glorification of the killers of civilians of belarus in russia and ukraine, we cannot agree and allow the latter, because we will never agree to glorify those who burned khatyn and hundreds of villages on the territory of belarus. at that time, the main foreign policy trend after the coup. as you remember , ukraine began joining nato and the proposals to the north atlantic bloc to place its military base on the territory of ukraine were done carefully, i remember this under the guise of training centers. considering the extreme security threat, the russian federation was forced to take extraordinary measures,

including crimea noticeably in russia. remember without a single shot what happened there and why the ukrainians did not heroically defend their native land then. the future will have to figure it out. the events in the east of ukraine, the donbass, became a continuation of the policy of destroying the entire russian ideology of fascism , already fascism is turning into the practice of killing those who disagree and setting fire to the flames that burned people. extermination of the russian population provocations against russia and its leadership forced the president of the russian federation to take measures to protect the russian people. by the way, i want to remind those who have lost their minds in

russia today. after all, you then demanded from putin to stop the genocide of a russian person in the donbass, you pushed the russian authorities to ensure that this protection was carried out. what happened why so quickly changed the point of view and ran through different passes and borders, not to help. russian people in the donbass, but this is so, by the way. and the confrontation began in the east ukraine which led to human casualties. you remember it too. and then being again i emphasize the whirlpool of these events very deeply, immersed in these events. i remember how any proposals for peace were rejected by the leadership of ukraine. i

often spoke. like a dog, i ran from one president to another and sent different messages, sent a messenger. it was very important for me to stop this war. and when nothing worked. i took a risk. i suggested well since it happened between close brothers and people. let's then become between you we go border troops on that border in 450 km. which the ukrainians demanded to immediately give under the control of ukraine. but the then leader of ukraine did not agree to this either. and when the negotiations became a fait accompli, remember here in minsk how the time gained has now become known. these were not negotiations. it was a cover. it was a deception and the time gained was used

by the west to militarize ukraine and arm its army. remember recently the mediators who came here merkel and announced this as a frenchman. we are heroes. we then the slaughter was suspended in order to give rise to ukraine and its army in order to equip it with the latest types of weapons. since that time, preparations for a full-scale war with russia began; the threat of war, the leadership of the russian federation, security from sponsors, the transformation of ukraine into anti-russia . how did it end? we know to be honest. today i have recently had to

discuss this topic very often with certain influential circles in the west, leading countries. and no one said before, but it was not serious. so what's putin offered? it was not a serious offer. you just couldn't go for it. i interrupt them with the guys, but if it was a frivolous proposal and it doesn’t mean anything, i asked putin. give a written guarantee. well, why didn't you write these guarantees to him? well, at the right time, you would, as usual, spit on these guarantees, but when the war lived across the sky, why didn’t you provide at least these guarantees on paper? silence due to the efforts of the united states and their satellites in our native country, a full-scale war was unleashed to the last ukrainian, i quote, as a result which in the course of a year alone killed and maimed about half a million people on both sides, millions became refugees on the horizon.

as a result, world war iii loomed with nuclear fires, you can still talk a lot about this period, but that's not the point. today, that's not the point. today is a uniquely special moment, which will not be in the history of russia and belarus, ukraine, or world history, especially european. question one, what to do? all of you understand and know the way one negotiates negotiations without prior conditions. so what are miracles? the president of a sovereign independent country signs a decree that concerns him and forbids himself to negotiate peace. well, it's just ridiculous, i say to you as president, if you don't want to negotiate, then don't negotiate.

why sign this decree and make all people laugh, what do you want to demonstrate by this my contacts at the beginning of the conflict with vladimir zelensky consisted in one thing, i was just friendly and brotherly. if you like, the boys always tried to turn where it should be from my point of view. i always told him. small you think the war is on your land on your territory. today you will be a hero, you will be at the head, you will ride there, wave, wave. he is artyom to resurrect awards, and as time goes by , people will ask you, why didn’t you prevent the war? why didn't you do everything to prevent this war from happening? and when did it start? why didn’t you stop her and innocent people are dying because they are dying, i told him, no, your children. not your relatives. they may be somewhere on azure

those who should not die and their relatives, if they die, they will ask, well, between us , speaking in folk terms, well, a man died, and a crippled man without a leg, without an arm, without two legs, in wheelchairs, who is being transported who needs him? and if he has no relatives who can watch him, what then? how do we see silence? therefore, it is necessary to start negotiations right now, and not later , we discussed this issue with the same western representative with whom i spoke. i always begged and begged. now now they are not tomorrow. why the answer is simple. they harness us slowly, but they drive fast, and you see, if russia used to, to be honest, it also asked us for weapons and

ammunition in order to protect itself today , it does not ask anyone, why because the military-industrial complex of the defense industry the industrial complex and i know this for sure today in russia is unfolding at full capacity. and if your industrial complex unfolds at full power , it will be difficult to talk about the world. this is a russian cart by inertia. if it rolls, it will not seem a little. for now it's possible. with another on the other hand, if ukraine is stuffed with western weapons, there are no more soviet weapons left there. if the military undergo retraining. on the other hand, there will also be an armada and we will not lose half a million killed. therefore

, it is necessary to stop now, until the escalation begins and i will try to take a chance to offer. stop fighting. yes, many now , especially in russia, one can say, well, we already stopped then in the donbas at another moment , another moment, a different situation, and taking into account those conditions, it is necessary to stop hostilities a truce is to be declared without the right to move the regrouping of troops from both sides without the right to transfer weapons and ammunition of manpower and equipment. everything is dead frozen. and if the west once again tries to use the pause in hostilities somehow it was. to strengthen their positions, again by deception. it was russia that was obliged to use the full power

of the military-industrial complex and the army to prevent the escalation of the conflict. and phosphorus ammunition and combined uranium and enriched ural uranium should all work. into action, if once again there is deceit and let it be noticed at least the slightest movement across the border into ukraine or from the other side of russia movement, troops training. the military is firing on me. all issues of territorial restoration, security and so on must and can be resolved at the negotiating table without preconditions. it's funny. diplomats understand when you go to negotiations. what are the preconditions? i'll say more. it is not necessary to hide this to anyone from one

side or the other, the military and people do not understand what they are fighting for. at the front, people do not understand why they are fighting for what they must go to die tomorrow. we survived that war, but we understood that we were defending our land, and the nazis killed not only the military, but wanted to engage in massacre. frankly, military children, share, but then the nazis burned everything. we knew it, it was another war. and then one side understood that it had revealed today, both sides understand that it is impossible to achieve victory. especially since the ukrainians believe that they will win. this stupidity is impossible to defeat a nuclear power. and if the russian leadership you will understand that the situation threatens the collapse of russia, it will be approximately the most terrible weapon that cannot be allowed, but the third is dangerous. these

are not people who do not understand why they are fighting on the line of contact and will agree. i'm giving you insider information. it has already begun, clan commanders, platoon commanders. the battalion commanders begin to negotiate, it comes to the point that they inform the russians that tomorrow a blow will be struck in this square. they understand that tomorrow in this russians they are informed that a gift will be inflicted, they leave. people at the front, those nationalists do not want to fight. national fascists, whom we called so they are no longer there, unfortunately, he, too, were people who are not there, who are fighting are fighting mobilized. well, imagine yourself at the front. here

imagine not quite prepared very often hungry rotting around. they want to fight in their head. the wife is a beloved woman. with the wild eyes they dream of in muddy trenches and lice crawling in them. they want to fight. no, they don’t want to fight, because they don’t understand what they are fighting for, and this is the main thing, therefore, from the earth to the air to the lord god, whatever problem, take one world, the world and the world, and we must go to these negotiations , go directly, do not expect mediators. outside the west, not from the east, one must understand ukraine , and maybe even scattered it, although

something economic may be incommensurable, that if tomorrow in some part of the planet, and sparks everywhere, the slightest conflict will break out about ukraine will be forgotten. no one will bring them and will not give weapon. and then what? even if not defeated alone, they will not recover the country, so he gathered his brains into a fist, holding his head. we must clearly understand how to sit down at the negotiating table and negotiate. well, how are you now, do you hear a lot of talk about the counteroffensive? the armed forces of ukraine, in my opinion, is extremely dangerous. this is the worst thing that is possible in the current conditions, because it can cross out all hopes for the negotiation process and lead to a reversible escalation of the conflict. understand what happens to count on victory as i already

said. with a nuclear weapon state insane so what? for us what? the war is not somewhere far away in afghanistan in syria in libya, it is already with us. behind our fence, there is a sharp conflict inside. you see that what is happening is what i warned you about in the twentieth year. they tried. that's it, then they approached the only military option to break us. this is what happens . there will always be a reason. they are trying to drag belarus into the war, our neighbors are especially zealous. these facts cannot be hidden. only the facts on the military needs only in 23 years. poland plans

to send about 21 billion euros. or about three percent of the gross domestic product is 70% more than in the previous twenty-second year by 70%. even the americans did not allow themselves such growth in 24. this figure can grow to 28 billion euros more than 4% of gdp, which is twice as much as nato demanded . why who threatens it more than a second ? only in accordance with the latest contracts more will receive soon.

366 abrams tanks and a thousand south korean black panthers, as well as 900 k-91 self-propelled howitzers 38 rso launchers third, a decision was made to increase the size of the armed forces to 300,000 people in 1935, that is , almost twice as much as poland has today, the implementation of these plans brings warsaw to a leading position among nato countries in europe, this is done by the americans deliberately. fourth, at the same time , the transfer of troops is proceeding at an accelerated pace nato to the east. block grouping only in poland and the baltic countries. today it has more than 21,000 military personnel, 2,500 tanks, almost 500 armored vehicles, about 150 aircraft and helicopters, and this entire armada

is defiantly training near the border of belarus and russia . we will lay it all out for you today, it’s not the time for painstaking closed work, but take my word for it. i never see you didn't cheat. they are preparing to invade the territory of belarus to destroy our country, they are made of our white militants, but in a simple way they don’t feel sorry for the bandits, they don’t feel sorry for them. we also have this information. first experience. today they receive in ukraine the truth, more like cannon fodder. the sixth is simultaneously preparing and throwing terrorists into our country to carry out

sabotage and acts of intimidation, they are trying to create underground extremist cells to coordinate protest activities, they are transferring weapons and financial resources. you think it's all just like that. they have specific plans and they are not shy about talking about it openly with a few quotes. inspector general of the german armed forces, colonel general thorn at the end of last year, belarus can quote belarus can enter the war in this case, nato member countries should start covert operations against targets on its territory. we haven't entered yet. nowhere have they already started it, we must prepare to support political changes in eastern europe by military means, you see, we in 1920 they wanted political changes, but already with a gun in

their hands to come to us and carry out these political changes further, such changes can become a democratic revolution and a popular uprising. in belarus , the end. minister at the end of last year if ukraine fails to achieve a decisive victory in the east, then nato should seriously consider opening a second front against belarus at one of the closed meetings, he agitated those present for this. another madness. commander 101 of the us airborne division, major general mcghee or magee late last year, belarus is one of the possible targets, 101

divisions he and command are prepared to occupy strategic points on the territory of belarus. these are just a few quotes recently, a few facts obtained by our intelligence. circumstances and the military-political situation around our country were optimized by me strongly negotiations with russian president putin on the return of nuclear weapons to belarus precisely on the return of nuclear weapons, which were withdrawn in the nineties then under the guarantee of no sanctions against those who withdrawn, no pressure, no planning for the offensive and the revolution, everything is trampled, everything is violated. i have the right to raise the question

of the return of nuclear weapons, which even before me, the madmen signed obligations to return them. i remember when they put pressure on me, i suspended this conclusion, i did not begin to deduce. we have weapons in the fourth ninety-fifth year. i was subjected to the most severe pressure not only from the west, but from president of russia i said, no, i will not withdraw. and as i remember now, he tells me, well, you understand, they will destroy it, and you will not be able to serve strategic warheads. do you remember that at that time the most modern weapons were in service here. poplar, which is now in the russian federation but then we had incredible pressure, except for our own currency in the form of bunnies , there was nothing, what remained we inherited, and

i was forced to retreat under certain guarantees, everything was trampled on. everything is forgotten. results known, i am not trying to intimidate or blackmail anyone, once again i say this, the lord is with them. i want to secure the belarusian state and ensure peace for the belarusian people with my history with my whole existence. my people have earned this as a backing to live. we don't want any more and we won't be slaves. in our history, i tell you how there were many critical situations, but we had the wisdom to save ourselves and our place on the political map of the world. remember i

told you an expensive thing and asked you if you are ready to pay for it? sovereignty means that only we, citizens of belarus , have the right to speak about our national interests and determine national ideas for further development on the territory of our own state. therefore, today i would like to talk, as i already stated at the beginning about the main conditions that will ensure the real sovereignty of our state , to talk about what else we must do together, we must do together so that no one enters our door. and if they left, then only in peace and only friends. the first condition of the sovereignty and independence of the people unity we belarusians have always demonstrated its turning points. history, it was unity that gave us the strength to defeat enemies and circumstances. so it was during the years

of revolutionary hard times, when the belarusian people did not miss the chance to create a basic national statehood. so it was in the thirty-ninth of the last century, when our historical lands were reunited so that it was impossible without the desire of belarusians to live in one family, so it was during the great patriotic war, when the invaders faced a truly nationwide resistance unprecedented in the history of the world. and he came, who stood with us, then in the forests and swamps. our slavs, our russian people, hence the answer is why we are with them today in the difficult post-war period in the dashing nineties during the global crises and the pandemic to the belarusians, we have always been united in the face of difficulties and challenges. i heard you. you heard me together, all together, we stood under

the outline of liberal models, pulled the country out of devastation, out of the abyss, we preserved the continuity of both historical eras and traditions, and all the strategic decisions we accepted themselves. how would we not be accused that someone controls us themselves? they accepted it by an overwhelming majority in referendums in elections, supporting the political course of the country, to which the majority has been following for almost three decades. we survived in the twentieth. this is obvious even to those who controlled that barbaric blitzkrieg. true, it would be time for them to publicly admit their defeat in a humanely kind way, meeting, again, with those westerners. i told them guys. well lost, well lost. well, admit that you lost and start building somehow our relationships are opportunities

today to build. you know, analyzing the events of the twentieth year, the seditious version , i will say, i draw lessons from those events. we are absolutely correct, we don't want this to happen again, but if it wasn't for 2020, it would have to be invented. august of the twentieth showed who is, who august of the twentieth showed our miscalculations, our attention is focused on the inadmissibility of complacency and laxity. we thought it was good for the beard in the hall we live no worse than others, especially the neighbors, where it is constantly stormy. but no, it turned out that certain parts of society do not like it. and it's not necessary. to

what part, what do not like, we know today. but it was a very important moment in our history, and thank god that it was and thank god that it ended with this, and after that i constantly draw your attention, do not relax. do not relax, repeat it all. did everyone hear me, to be honest, far from everyone, but i have to. and most importantly, then in the twentieth we are on the tooth. what is called tried their democracy and human rights? we understood from our bitter experience that they will not let us live in peace. we said so to the twentieth. and today we see that they do not allow us to live in peace, using the respite between political battles by the majority last year at the constitutional level, we determined the kind of new strategic directions. moreover, they preserved the continuity

of political traditions. this is the most important achievement in the history of our statehood. and i am extremely grateful to all of you who joined in the discussion of the new edition of the basic law, then took part in referendum 22 years. there are millions of such unanimity. our history. didn't know tens of thousands of sentences. all constructive ideas were considered, analyzed and reflected, if in the constitution then in other normative ones. legal acts i'm just thinking of telling you this or not. well, the fight has begun. many say that lukashenka made this constitution for himself . the constitutional commission, created

from different representatives of different strata of society, carried these proposals. we did it publicly, so no need to blame that it was i who adopted the constitution but even if we proceed from this, believe me. my age is ending and i will not make any constitutions for myself. i remember when i came to power. then they choked, poisoned, shot, but a team of a dozen people survived and people believed us here, gray-haired people are sitting. and even those who were against me, mikhail vladimirovich, i don't mean you, i'm sorry , of course, but you remember that we did n't pressure anyone then, didn't poison. you worked together realizing that the country needs to be saved. almost 30 years have passed. well, how much can you? i'm from this and i'm leaving, so don't think that i'm clinging to this chair, as i often say, i'm holding on to this

power with absolute sincerity and i'm telling you about it. do you see what circumstances? and many would like lukashenka not to be there, and since they want me not to be, they went to do it, on the contrary, this is my principle. you misunderstood me. this does not mean that i am again here because of the circumstances. i will hold on to this post no. no, and again no, i'm thinking about the future, because like all of you, i have children and grandchildren who should live in a peaceful independent country. i after all, i understand more than others that if lukashenka won’t eat, then his children will achieve all sides, perhaps they will have

those inside who don’t like something and will get through the children. and this is unacceptable for me. what will crush and poison your children for you ? i think about it they this cheap trick, in which they are trying to reproach me that lukashenka created the constitution for himself. i remember journalists, some cleverly reasoned, but lukashenka why was this new constitution, it was there for him. yes , what else. but i want real democratization as much as possible. at this moment, i want people to live according to the law for the second time i am talking about this, but you still did not

understand what i meant, many are now being done on behalf of the president. there is a law, there is no law, everyone runs to the president. make a decision, maybe the current situation. this is right, but it is a heavy cross. and we need to gradually. it seems that we didn't make big mistakes when one person made the main decisions, but this does not mean that this will always be the case. a new man will come, who will he be? oh, how beautifully they will talk about them to you oh, how they will promise and sugar and buckwheat will be brought before the elections, everything will be and what will happen later, when they are elected, we don’t know, therefore, the period of time when the transition will be to a new government , even to a new generation. we need to secure the country. we need to secure those patriots. who want to live in this country. i

proceeded from this suggesting you changes to the new constitution. well, of course, you will now say whether he will be president or not. once again i repeat, not banal things. it's up to you to decide who will be your president, but i tell you right away, i'm full. you decide and stop talking about it today until my last days in this position, i'm not going to die. i will work for the good of our country. i will never be a lame duck, as they say, lame duck announced his departure. i have enough authority to to protect my country, especially now i'm more than you sorry for this lesson , i'm interested in preserving it, because i have invested my whole life in this. i have not seen this life, except for my belarus, therefore it is necessary to stop all talk about heredity and continuity. my children

will not be presidents. you must remember this and also not suck and not talk about this topic, but we, together with you, i, including as long as we are alive, we will not give up our conquests. we will not give up, which means we will live, we will live, we will live our children. tens of thousands constitutional proposals were considered all the best, which correspond to the time included in the constitution. but as i say that we adopted the constitution and that’s all there is to bring the legislation in line with the new norms, there is only a year left, time goes by quickly. pay attention to my appeal to the belarusian people and parliament. therefore, i am talking about the lawmaking that we have

now. if we talk about lawmaking, out of almost 100 legislative acts, it has already been adopted or considered by the first reading in parliament more than a half? we live by these laws. the adopted key laws, i would say, are unique in their kind. about all the belarusian people's assembly of the fundamental civil society adjusted in accordance with the constitution of the laws on the national assembly. and the council of ministers on the status of a member of the house of representatives a member of the council of the republic has gained a good pace now, as i know about 25 projects are in parliament, it needs to be accelerated. you people are experienced deputies , highly professional, reliable, quite capable of working ahead of schedule. also, by a majority in the referendum of 22, we voted for the historical justice

of the ancient belarusian tradition of the peoples of power, which is realized in the modern history of the state, like the entire belarusian people's assembly , only the people ruling from their own destiny have acquired constitutional status. under this slogan we led 27 years ago. the first meeting in the history of sovereign belarus. and then it saved the country. our assembly resounds with the voice of all, from rural workers to scientists, in it all spheres are represented, all sectors of society and political views. i think that the delegates of the constitutional body will be just like that. there should be a place for both the worker and the peasant and the leader and the politician. i will say more to the delegate of the supreme people's council, representatives of the local councils of the parliament will be elected by the belarusian people, and only they, and not some mythical observers, let me remind you that

less than a year of such a large-scale electoral process is left before the next elections. we haven't had any preparation for it yet. we have already begun we have updated the electoral legislation and determined the legal framework for the activities of civil societies and parties want for me to frankly say this political pluralism is nothing more than a western motive. remember this pluralism , a political term, appeared during the time of mikhail sergeevich gorbachev. well, for the extra charge , we realized how much we lost the country. i repeat, parties are created to fight for power . the desire for power of various political forces is not just a competition of views and systems, this is a division of society. this sometimes leads to a loss of structure. and yet. we never let it be

hinder party building, especially if the initiative comes from people who sincerely love their country, their home, their family, who are tuned in to the peaceful future of their children, but i repeat, foreign agents paid from abroad in our political field will not be a point exactly like parties, power won't either. for those who have forgotten. with what program i went to the first presidential election, let me remind you that it’s not possible to save with the left and the fair, but with my people , my position has not changed and the deputies. whatever party or social movements. they are not represented above all should serve the people. they are the interest of individual oligarchs and politicians. especially foreign ones. see what is happening in georgia as soon as the deputies touched those protecting their political field from foreign influence. foreign agent law the americans and

the british they immediately threw a mess. well , why are these your people georgia then, but it’s completely spread out to say goodbye to folk slang and does not move. what are you afraid of attacking them? they are afraid that in the future, and suddenly come off what to do, then they stop any opportunity for the independence of this beautiful and beautiful country. they showed who is the boss in the house, this once again confirms that we are on the right track on the eve of the next election campaign, my question is a deputy of all levels. have you done everything that you promised the voters , there is still time to complete their affairs, i ask the local authorities to pay attention to this and help the deputies. almost all of them are worthy to carry their cross

and today, without expecting an electoral companies should discuss with people. what questions we will bring to the level of the first constitutional composition all the belarusian ones at the meeting. we need to start discussing the draft of a new concept of national security, as we did with the draft constitution at the moment. this sounds very sharp for people to go and explain themselves. and in general , the dialogue with people started on the eve of the constitutional referendum must be continued in the field, student audiences at factories in the organization, this is not the time to calm down. don't think that we are all everyone was explained every new day throws up a new information occasion. especially a lot and scrupulously. it is necessary to explain to young people to explain and advise not to engage in moralizing. we should also all

remember that there has never been an easy election campaign in our history, there will never be, as long as we exist as a sovereign state. i think you understand this, therefore the people's unity. this is the first condition preservation of sovereignty and independence around the storm around the storm and in the north and in the south in the west and in the east. here is this one left island. do you think anyone would agree with this? no one will ever agree with this and there will be different methods for us, as i say, not just staggering to destroy. nobody needs this island of peace. a bad example, even if we want to be sovereign and independent, i repeat once again, there is no need to hover in the clouds. no need to think, there are

extraterrestrial civilizations, everyone should mind their own business. the second condition for sovereignty and independence is historical memory and our national traditions, we are belarusians. a people with a rich millennial stories. it intertwined eras, the heyday and fall of many states created on our lands. the origins of the belarusian statehood. this is the foundation of our sovereignty for almost a third of a century. this topic, the topic of the origins of statehood, causes heated discussions and heated debates in the academic environment. and in society. all the houses sitting behind the cordon are especially worried about the still non-slavic origins of the belarusians. yes, even under the wrong hand of the leadership of western rights history. for them , it's a weapon. they say so, using their myth-making to build up society itself. time forced us to take a tougher

state position in matters of preserving historical truth. give a fundamental uncompromising assessment of a separate fact . first, yes, the belarusian nation was formed at the junction of the western and eastern slavic civilizations on the basis of christianity, but with the overwhelming advantage of orthodoxy. and many of our people say we are orthodox people, well, they say correctly, based on this thesis, it was the confessional choice made by our ancestors more than 1,000 years ago that determined the cultural code of belarusians and our mentality overcomes the monstrous persecution of the most acute moments in the history of the period of naked colonization during the time of the commonwealth, poland, the war period and during all the wars that swept through our territory,

the belarusians retained their faith, their native language and culture, their identity. there was a path of formation of the belarusian nation and there was nothing surprising in the fact that we poured our national state state precisely in the east slavic cradle. the second belarusian statehood was initially formed on the basis of traditions democracy, our democratic traditions have a thousand-year history while the west was immersed in the dark ages. so historians write our ancestors, the inhabitants of the polotsk turov principalities, built the foundations of legal and political interaction between the authorities and peoples. the third belarusian state is also a full-fledged successor to the historical heritage of ancient russia and it's time. to stop all these situations on

this score, the grand duchy of lithuania incl., as we say, was also russian. this means that east slavic, that is, ours. for those who are concerned about the topic of the russian world and who tremble at the mention of russians, i will say that simply russian is not only russian, it is different. fourth belarusian vertinity and respect for other peoples more than 700 years ago over the belarusian land found a haven of anti-semitism and enlightened europe fled here along gromov. at the same time, they found their home here, numerous representatives of the tatar people, who also sought peace and creation with allah in their hearts, ran to us orthodox christians. elements of different
