Interfax - Russia & CIS General Newswire Tuesday 5:12 PM MSK Lukashenko advises Armenians not to be carried away by change of power MINSK. April 24 Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says that the people of Armenia should not get carried away by the change of power. "I only hope that the Armenian people doesn't get too carried away by the situation. Because it is simple to change power, but then it should produce results. And the nation will be waiting for this result. God grant that the talented and wise people of Armenia cope with the situation," he said in his annual message to the nation and the National Assembly in Minsk on Tuesday. "If it was necessary to change the constitution for someone's sake, that should have been done honestly. One day we took that road when we lifted restrictions for the election of presidents, all presidents. There was no need [for Armenia] to turn a parliamentary republic into a presidential and the presidential into parliamentary and then God knows into what. Now it has backfired," Lukashenko said. He said he discussed the issue with the former Armenian president before and clearly stated his opinion. "One should address the nation and tell it openly and honestly: that's how things are. Why change the foundations of a country, break a country to fit someone's personality? What if that person breaks later?" Lukashenko said.
