“We see a desire to try to change the existing structure, the existing political power by unconstitutional methods,” TASS quoted him as saying following negotiations with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Naryshkin emphasized that outside influence on the situation in the republic is obvious for Russia and Belarus.
“This influence is not disinterested ... The reform of the Constitution, which has begun, will provide answers to many questions.
But at the same time, the need to maintain stability is an extremely important condition for the development of the state and society, ”said the head of the SVR.
He noted that the protest actions raised many questions before the Belarusian authorities, but Lukashenka’s proposal to start constitutional reform could be one of the answers to them.
In September, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that former Belarusian presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who is in Lithuania, "does not speak in her own voice."
