«We will do everything to ensure peace,» he stated. «We do not want to fight. Why? Because Belarus is a common home, everyone lives here (representatives of different nationalities and faiths), and they live normally».
«Look what's happening around. From the perspective of religious and national animosity. It's scary to think. We — are calm. Not I — you all have done everything so that people live peacefully on this piece of land, around which everything is ablaze,» Alexander Lukashenka emphasized. «And we will live peacefully if we don't take what belongs to others and pocket it, if we work and strengthen our country. The main thing is the economy. That's why I always tell you: you just give me one thing — the economy, everything else — is up to me».
