Alexander Milinkevich Quotations

We believe that Belarus will be next after Georgia and Ukraine.

Lukashenko has exhausted the possibility of strengthening his power.

People will laugh at those figures. In Poland, people began laughing at communist authorities and this is when Solidarity won. We are getting there.

If we are not registered we will continue all the work we have already planned as if we were registered. We'll go out to the people, travelling as much as we can around the country.

We took part in the presidential election to wake people up, to tell them the truth.

We must defend one another. The authorities are violating the law, they have organized large-scale repression.

It is important that the Russian authorities realize that we are sincerely willing to respect Russia's interests. But we are not going to sacrifice our interests, either.

Our view ... is that economic sanctions tend to hit the people in the street rather than the regime, and they're not very effective.

Our objective is to create a stir in society.

The president has said on television he will defend his government down to the last gun cartridge. This is very alarming.

We are in solidarity with those injured yesterday. We will invite him to join our coalition.

The fact that the authorities announced an early date is proof of their fear. The authorities want to reduce our chances of holding meetings.... But people see such a step by the authorities as proof of their lack of confidence.

This regime exists in large part because it has the strong support of Russia.

We will come out with flowers, we will come out peacefully, without any violence.

We will tell our people the truth, it's up to them to decide their country's future.

We don't want a revolution but the people could go out to protest. In all probability I think already that the election won't be democratic.

We should build our relations honestly, on mutually beneficial conditions, and not base them on myths and manipulations, as Lukashenko does.

This is a sheer farce, this is not a real trial.

It will be a peaceful demonstration. We will come out with flowers. We will tell people the truth.

Democratic countries are able to help, they are interested in helping us. But it is difficult to work with us.

The authorities are destroying freedom, truth and justice. There was only enough democracy for three days and this shows the essence of the regime that has been established in Belarus.

Nothing happened. I was tired. They asked me to rest, something I haven't done in months.

They have organized large-scale repression. In these conditions, we are trying to do everything we can to achieve the truth.

How the authorities act tomorrow will be a litmus test for us. If they use force, we reserve the right to take appropriate measures.

The main weapon of the authorities is force. Our weapon is the truth.

An announcement will come upon results of the March 19 voting that Lukashenko has received 75 or even more percent votes.
