BELARUSIAN PRESIDENT DECREES REFERENDUM TO SEEK THIRD TERM..

President Alyaksandr Lukashenka told Belarusians on September 7 that he has signed a decree on holding a referendum, simultaneously with the parliamentary elections on October 17, asking voters to remove a constitutional two-term limit on the presidency and to allow him to seek a third term in 2006, Belarusian media reported. In an address broadcast by all national television and radio channels, Lukashenka said his task of building a "quiet, comfortable home" for Belarusians has not been finished. Lukashenka warned his compatriots that if a new president comes to replace him, outside forces supporting such a successor may take control of Belarusian enterprises and land. Lukashenka also stressed his role in maintaining peace and stability in Belarus and shielding the country from terrorism.
