Lukashenka jokes about his political rating (video)

Alyaksandr Lukashenka jokingly refers to the fact that the media include him in the popularity ratings of politicians. Last week, the Russian newspaper Vedomosti named the Belarusian ruler politician of the year.

Lukashenka: "It's nice that they saw Lukashenka, that they saw not a dictator, but, apparently, a normal person. Otherwise, there wouldn't be these statements. This is an incident of some sort. It was not to be. How? Yesterday a terrible person, but today - the most popular one ... I treat this with humor."

Lukashenka said that such phenomena are particularly beneficial for Belarus, BELTA reports.
