President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, communicating with the artists of the Kupala Theater, recognized himself as a Belarusian nationalist. This was reported by the BelTA Telegram channel.
He explained that nationalism is not chatter on “mov”, but the desire to do something that will remain in the people’s memory.
“I always strive to ensure that we have certain traditions,” the President of Belarus said.
Earlier, Lukashenka answered a question about the slogans of the opposition, whose representatives equate the current government with a fascist one. “As for fascism, you cannot stick it to me. Because I am an international person. You see my policy. I have always been proud that we have no fights, contradictions between different nationalities,” he said.
In July, the President noted that the Belarusians are independently building an independent, modern and unique country in the international arena. Lukashenko added that the centuries-old history of Belarus predetermined the proximity of Belarusians to the fraternal peoples, foreign economic and foreign policy multi-vector.
Prior to that, he said that the Belarusians had been going for more than a thousand years to their independence: “Almost at all times, starting from ancient times, this was the path of struggle. Fighting the harsh climate for the harvest, with the invaders for the land, with the oppressors for freedom , with the interventionists for their faith, culture and traditions.
