Lukashenko: Every Belarusian should have his own plot in the countryside

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko urged citizens to buy empty houses and land in rural areas. The head of state said this when coordinating the appointments of heads of local authorities, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

- Do not forget to turn our people towards the village. The Russians heard me, and not only the Russians – from the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarusians – did not. I said, "Good people, look how many vacant estates there are." You can get close to them, even at the farm. Every Belarusian should have such a site, Alexander Lukashenko stressed.

The president urged Belarusians to restore order on their lands, “so that the fence was, that the house looked like and, most importantly, that the land was plowed.”.

In this regard, the Head of State reminded about the “isbing” – a new direction in tourism, which implies recreation in the rural entourage and traditional wooden huts.

- As I say, the Russians have heard the movement (I was surprised when I heard it) called izbing. A hut buys something, 40-50 acres. Belarus is a developed country, logistics is excellent, roads are everywhere. You can go to any route, Alexander Lukashenko said.

The Belarusian leader also drew attention to the great benefits that the presence of a rural plot brings to the young generation.

- The main thing is that you and your children walk barefoot on the ground. This is a huge factor of educational work for our children who sit in different gadgets. We need to get people involved. Let them handle these areas. They will have at least their own garden where the children can go and eat an apple. And I would like not only foreigners to live on these scraps of land, but also our Belarusians, the President said.

In addition, Alexander Lukashenko stressed that large enterprises do not always cultivate small pieces of land, because of which they simply overgrown with weed. At the same time, people who buy such a plot can cultivate it on their own, thereby returning the land to circulation.
