The president's functions and powers are to coordinate and control the activities of the branches of the power. The president must have key figures in these areas”

It is like the production of high-precision weapons in Belarus, space projects, which we are implementing and on which we are working now. It involves advanced technologies, it is our future.

about Dalia Grybauskaite
)
:
“I am looking at this article. I see whose ears are behind it. He is not even a presidential candidate, he roots for his wife. He understands that nobody in Belarus will vote for the wife. I often say that Natalya Ivanovna [Kochanova, Chairwoman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus] will not win an election either although she is a hard-boiled, ready president already. Our Constitution is not suitable for a woman. Our society is not ready to vote for a woman. Because the Constitution gives strong authority to the president,” “Our president is nothing like the president in Lithuania. Dalia Grybauskaite was the president over there. She came, smiled, sat a bit and went away. She was not responsible for anything because it is a parliamentary republic over there. Belarus is not. I am absolutely convinced a man will be the next president”
