MOSCOW: Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said he may have stayed in power as president a little too long, but said he was the only person capable of protecting the country for now, Russian news agencies reported him as saying on Tuesday.
“Yes, maybe I overstayed a bit,” the TASS news agency cited Lukashenko as saying in an interview with several Russian state-run media outlets.
Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994 and claimed victory in a contested Aug. 9 presidential election which his opponents say was massively rigged.
