Lukashenko on female president: God forbid a woman is elected in Belarus

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko answered the journalists' question about whether a woman can be the head of state, writes BelTA.

“God forbid a woman is elected in Belarus. The U.S. President doesn't have the same powers, and here you have to go dep into everything. In Belarus, the President is the commander-in-chief. And then, it's a very hard job. You shouldn't burden a woman so much, it's not a ceremonial position. Maybe in time we'll come to such a style. But for now it's different,” said Alexander Lukashenko. - I bow before women, I do not belittle their role. But they should be near.
