Minsk, October 24, Interfax - Orthodoxy has a special significance for Belarus, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.

"There is no doubt that Belarus is an Orthodox nation. We shall strictly follow the chosen line because the people want it," Lukashenko told Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia in Minsk on Friday. "Jointly with other faiths, we have come to realize that the Orthodox Church is a foundation, it includes 85% believers. Nobody argues about it," he said.

"Your arrival is not only an event for the believers, it is a major political event," he said. The Belarusian people "are especially grateful to you because you have a great and kind attitude to the Belarusian people," he added.
