Following Lukashenko’s example, Ilham Aliyev is going to run for presidency permanently. And due to unknown reasons Europe wants to work with Baku, but not with Minsk. Does Belarus lack oil?” he said.   Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
