“Our neighbors are given to us by God, like to any other state. In relations with everyone, we strive for peace and friendship. We have never buried ourselves on someone else’s loaf or a piece of land, we have enough of our own. We do not even remind them today that Bialystok and Bialystokshchyna are Belarusian lands. Vilna (Vilnius – ed.) Is also a Belarusian city and lands around, “he said.
According to him, confessional balance and national unity are the basis of the Belarusian society.
“All of us people living on this land are the Belarusian people. We have one state, one law, a common historical memory,” Lukashenka added.
