Belarus is not a dictatorship but an open country free of any censorship, Alyaksandr Lukashenka said at a meeting with culture officials and cinema experts on Thursday, as quoted by BelaPAN.
"To be a censor in all areas, it's necessary to have the necessary resources," the Belarusian leader said. "There're no such resources in Belarus, and this is the objective reason why we’ll never have the censorship that, unfortunately, is said to exist in our Russia."
One cannot say that here in Belarus, “there is someone who watches and decides what should be banned and what should not,” Mr. Lukashenka said. “This is impossible, as the times are different now."
