I would like to be a citizen of this country, because here is peace, stability, and reliability. I just captured the period when there was a referendum here. I was going through. I was not a citizen and had no voting rights. Well, now I can say with confidence that we are citizens of Belarus, and we will also have our own contribution to this country
