"Together forward!" Alexander Lukashenko provided guidance to the staff upon their appointment to the Academy of Sciences.
"I will not speak about science, much has been said. Without science, there is no development. As for our science, I will not say that we are stagnating in terms of science. But what science gives us, especially for applied fields, is extremely insufficient. You know this very well," said the head of state. "That we need to shake up the Academy of Sciences is a fact. I have also spoken about this. For this purpose, a relatively young, active person who understands what is required of him has been appointed there (referring to the Chairman of the Presidium of the NAS, Vladimir Karanyk. - Note by BELTA)."
"But one person alone cannot accomplish everything. He was tasked with finding people like you - young, yet experienced, whom he can rely on. Together and forward!" - Alexander Lukashenko encouraged.
