“PRESIDENT CAN BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE. I CAN TELL YOU HOW.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko told the recipe of changing government in Belarus as he received the credentials from foreign ambassadors.
“I want to say that the Belarusian president can be removed from office. It can be done. I can tell you how. There is only one way: it is only the Belarusian people that can do it on the basis of the current laws and the Belarusian Constitution. As you can see, the answer to all the questions that Western diplomats in Belarus, those in the West and also Belarusians who have fled the country are preoccupied with today is very simple.”

TSIKHANOUSKAYA IS IN TOP-100 WOMEN OF THE YEAR ● The BBC has revealed its list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2020.
This year 100 Women is highlighting those who are leading change and making a difference during these turbulent times, BBC explains. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is presented in “Leadership” category.
“Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is a former presidential candidate in Belarus, where she led a national democratic movement. In August 2020, President Alexander Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in the leadership election, sparking protests across the country amid widespread accusations of vote-rigging. Shortly after the election, fearing for the safety of her children, Sviatlana fled Belarus for Lithuania. She continues to lead the democratic movement in exile,” Tsikhanouskaya’s card tells.
BBC also quoted Sviatlana’s words: “Never, for one second, believe anyone who says you are weak. We often don't realise how strong we are.”
The list also features Sanna Marin, who leads Finland's all-female coalition government, Michelle Yeoh, star of the new Avatar and Marvel films and Sarah Gilbert, who heads the Oxford University research into a coronavirus vaccine, as well as Jane Fonda, a climate activist and actress. And in an extraordinary year - when countless women around the world have made sacrifices to help others - one name on the 100 Women list has been left blank as a tribute.
