Lukashenko: With viable economy we should be afraid of nothing

GRODNO, 14 November (BelTA) – With a vibrant economy the country should be afraid of neither color revolutions nor external interventions, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at the meeting in Grodno Oblast on 14 November, BelTA has learned.

Alexander Lukashenko is confident that the economy is the focal point. “If we have a viable economy, we should be afraid of neither color revolutions nor external interventions, nothing. But if we bend down, sink in corruption, irresponsibility and carelessness, it will make the ground for these color revolutions. It will be the main factor for these color revolutions to win,” the President noted.

“The same happened in Ukraine. The same was in every country that witnessed these revolutions. If we had given even the smallest reason over the years of our new history, we would have been destroyed. If such a rich state as Ukraine had been mopped up we would have been the first in the post Soviet space. We should withstand. We should make our state stronger. And the main thing here is the economy. We have all the rest,” the Belarusian leader said.

The President stated that the authorities are taking their main exam next year. “Let us prepare for this exam thoroughly,” the head of state said.

“We should make up the executive personnel that will root for this country. We will not have another land. We should hold it. The main thing is our independence. We have set up this state and we should make it stronger today,” the President said.
