The President of Belarus on terrorist attacks

After the explosion in Vitebsk on September 22, 2005:

Why do we become complacent and think that it is somewhere far away, it cannot happen to us? Society needs to wake up. The world became scary after the collapse of that large country where we could feel calm and protected. Today everything is breaking apart, I saw this in New York. Nobody cares about anyone, just to crush someone, crush someone, capture markets, and so on. That's the way the world is. We must see this world, and we must save our country.

After the explosion in Minsk on July 3, 2008:

I don’t think it was directed against me, it would have been good for them, this action was directed against peaceful people. It is very difficult to intimidate us. I think that vile and cowardly people did this... We will talk to them differently. The provocation failed. Tightening the screws is some kind of vile thing. What happened in the country to tighten the screws? In this case, although the issue is political, we will deal with it according to the law

After the explosion in Minsk on April 11, 2011:

Maximize your security measures. Do not create the appearance of reinforcement. Be decisive. I think people will understand us. Turn everything inside out. Especially the presence of unregistered weapons, explosives, and ammunition. You know what we are talking about: I do not rule out that this gift could be brought to us from outside. But we need to look at ourselves. I want to tell you guys that we are facing a serious challenge. We need an adequate answer.
