“I am firmly convinced that this president no longer has legitimacy. Otherwise, he would not have resorted to such incredible harshness and violence, "RIA Novosti quotes the minister.
According to him, if everything goes according to democratic rules, "Lukashenka will no longer remain in office."
Earlier, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas called for an audit of the results of the presidential elections in Belarus, and the FRG government called the events in the country a "wave of repression" against peaceful demonstrators.
On August 17, Lukashenko said that presidential elections have already been held in Belarus and there will be no others.
He stressed that the power in Belarus "will never fall."
