Lukashenko: Belarus faced a coup attempt, not a color revolution

MINSK, 11 February (BelTA) – There was a coup attempt in Belarus, not a color revolution, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he spoke at the 6th Belarusian People’s Congress on 11 February, BelTA has learned.

“A color revolution was impossible in Belarus. Therefore, relying on certain internal forces, they made an attempt of a blitzkrieg coup. The blitzkrieg failed. We have kept our country intact. For now,” said the head of state.

According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, the goal of the opponents of the Belarusian state is not known, and it is impossible to predict what they are going to do next. Anyway they will not leave Belarus alone, said the president. “These are very powerful forces, and they do not want to lose this war. We have to withstand by all means. 2021 will be a decisive year for the country,” he said.
