Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says Russian President Vladimir Putin and he will be able to solve problems facing bilateral relations without anyone's help.

"It's been said already about Russia that mediators are needed there between Putin and Lukashenko. Calm down - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and I have excellent, brilliant relations. And we will find time and meet," Lukashenko said at a meeting with Armenian Ambassador Armen Khachatryan in Minsk on Tuesday.

"If there are any problems, we will solve them. We will solve them on our own, just the two of us, without any mediators. We do not need any mediation," he said.

"We are brothers. We have nothing to quarrel over," Lukashenko said.

"I once told him [Putin] in public that maybe there would come a time when we would have to stand back to back and return fire, as military people say," Lukashenko said.

"I hate mediators because they have been circling around Belarus for as long as I have been president - it is either peacekeepers or mediators, they are either with the European Union or with someone else. We will sort everything out with the European Union, with other states, and so on without any mediators," he said.
