Maybe he just needs mediation between him and the Muslims?
I can help him here because I have very, very good relations with Muslims, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenko.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that he understands the feelings of Muslims in connection with the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in the French press, while he noted that independent media, not the authorities, are behind their publication.
On October 21, Macron, at a farewell ceremony for the teacher of history and geography of the Conflans-Saint-Honorine college who was killed in the suburbs of Paris, said that France would not give up caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
