Belarusians lack sense of national superiority – Lukashenko
Alexander Lukashenko stated that Belarusians lack a sense of national superiority.
He reported this at a meeting with representatives of different nationalities living in Belarus.
There he also informed: since the times of the USSR, he has not been accustomed to dividing people by nationality.
For me it doesn't matter where someone was born. I value in people, first of all, decency, kindness, hard work, - the President's press service quotes him as saying.
The head of state also drew attention to the fact that Belarusians lack a sense of national superiority.
Belarusians are deprived of a sense of national superiority, because they know what it means to fight for their culture and faith, he said.
And in principle,” the speaker added, “talk about a titular nation is alien to Belarusians, just as the practice of dividing the country into citizens and non-citizens, which is observed in some neighboring states, is alien to them.
According to him, the entire Belarusian history is permeated with the idea of national unity.
That is why, since ancient times, those who fled from religious wars, civil strife and persecution found shelter on Belarusian soil.
In unfavorable days for themselves, they united with the local population, together fought back the enemy and together built their future on the Belarusian land.
This is the key to understanding the code of life on our earth, the President emphasized.
