Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko warned on Wednesday that if an armed conflict breaks out in Belarus, another world war could break out, according to the country's news agency BelTA.

Foreign countries should stop attempting to undermine the situation in Belarus, Lukashenko said.

During a meeting with legislators, members of the Constitutional Commission, and government agencies, Lukashenko said, "I am appealing to the entire global community: there is no sense in stirring the pot in Belarus."

"We are a little country, but we will respond appropriately. There have been similar precedents in the past "He made a point. "Before making any hasty or ill-considered moves, keep in mind that Belarus is the heart of Europe."

The country's president was quoted by BelTA as saying, "If something breaks out here, it will mean another world war."

Lukashenko went on to say that, in the event of external aggression, Belarus has military might capable of inflicting irreparable damage on its adversary, as stipulated in its defense doctrine.

"All of this is spelled out in military documents. As a result, before you start rattling sabers near our borders, think twice "Lukashenko issued a warning.
