Moscow, Mar. 10, (dpa/GNA) – Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko has appointed Alexander Turchin as new prime minister and reshuffled the cabinet, state news agency Belta reported on Monday.
“As promised, a new generation will lead the country,” the 70-year president said after dismissing a number of ministers over recent days. Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, determines the Eastern European country’s political direction.
Up to his appointment, Turchin, 49, served as chairman of the Minsk Region. He has also served in the national government in the past.
Lukashenko moved outgoing prime minister Roman Golovchenko to head the country’s central bank, saying he was complying with Golovchenko’s wish for the banking sector to have a greater role in the Belarusian economy.
In the January elections, Lukashenko secured a majority of 86%, according to the officially released results. There were no independent observers of the election in the country, which is seen in the West as a dictatorship.
Months of protest followed the 2020 elections, which Lukashenko also won by a large majority. The protests were put down with police violence and mass detentions.
Lukashenko has aligned the country strongly with the Kremlin and provided assistance to Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
