Gagik Tsarukyan—chairman of the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party, MP, and business tycoon—congratulated incumbent President Aleksandr Lukashenko on his victory in Sunday’s presidential election in Belarus.

"I am confident also that thanks to you, the relations between Armenia and Belarus will gain new momentum, further strengthening the fraternal and friendly ties between the two peoples. I, too, am ready to make every effort for that," Tsarukyan wrote, in particular, in this regard on his Facebook page.
