President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko remains the possibility of voluntary resignation of the head of state, writes a correspondent of “Novaya Gazeta” in Minsk Irina Khalip in his article published on the newspaper’s website.

“All hopes of the security forces, probably. But they can not stand the nerves,” — says the journalist.

She recalled the words of Lukashenka about the participation of Emomali Rakhmonov, President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, in the events of the civil war in the Republic in the first half of the 1990s. “Only the memory of his mother’s maiden short. About Rahmon remembers, but about [Nicolae] Ceausescu somehow forgot,” concluded Khalip.

The majority of Lukashenka’s opponents announced plans to run for a sixth term, were detained, among them the most popular candidates — banker Victor Babariko and blogger Sergei tikhanovski.
