Minsk -- Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said he does not accept nationalism.
“Nationalists are radical people who are sure to cause a disaster, like they did in Ukraine. I am somehow trying to keep them under control to prevent them from causing trouble,” Lukashenko was quoted by the news agency BelTA as saying at a seminar attended by the students, faculty and graduates of the Belarusian State Pedagogical University.
Lukashenko said nationalists are making the Belarusian language issue a cause of division in society, “which should not happen.”
“The language should not be a reason for such division,” he said.
Lukashenko said that in this case he is not talking about nationalists in the good sense of the word.
