Zisser: I was surprised to see how deeply president knows problems

The owner of TUT.by counted 200 opponents of the dictator.

He said it after the meeting between Lukashenka and representatives of Belarusian mass media, BelTA news agency reports.

Yury Zisser, the chairman of the general meeting of shareholders LLC TUT.by Media and the owner of Nadezhnye Programmy company, was surprised to see how deeply the ruler knows and delves into the existing problems. He stressed Lukashenka gave honest answers to all questions. “Maybe I didn't like all the answers or wanted to add and comment on something, but it was very interesting, honest and sincere,” Zisser said.

“I was surprised to see the deep level of knowledge of problems. I have the impression that the president delves into many things. I think he is not always able to deal with everything. It would be better if people studied all problems so closely. The president knows all existing problems,” Zisser said.

As for negative comments on the Internet on the dictator's remarks, he thinks one shouldn't pay much attention to them. “It's difficult to please everyone in a 9.5-million country. It's natural that 200 people are against. Moreover, those supporting [the president] rarely leave comments. Most comments come from those who are against. One shouldn't give too much attention to them,” he said.

Lukashenka met with representatives of some Belarusian media outlets in the Palace of Independence on January 21.
