He made this statement on September 17 at the forum “Youth. Belarus. Future” held in Minsk, dedicated to the National Unity Day, reports the portal “Zerkalo”.
A. Lukashenko urged from the podium to “never believe those who say” that he holds power “with blue fingers.”
“Let them say whatever they want. I have had enough of this power. The only question is: are you capable today of taking over the country and maintaining it? If you are capable – then take over [the country] tomorrow. To be honest, I cannot answer this question positively yet. Don’t be offended,” said A. Lukashenko.
