Our main aim is to screen Belarusian people from imposing of somebody else’s will and from violence,” Alyaksandr Lukashenka said today at a reception of the key personnel of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus and law-enforcing agencies on Fatherland defender`s day.

Belarus is able to develop in modern situation successfully and to withstand threats and challenges, Alyaksandr Lukashenka said.

An urge for a dictate of power, political extremism, informational wars are shattering regional and global stability, Alyaksandr Lukashenka underlined.

“Our state border has become a reliable barrier for trans-national crime. But we have never viewed our border as a dividing line between East and West,” A. Lukashenka noted.
