Alyaksandr Lukashenka struck a largely combative, uncompromising tone as he addressed nearly 3,000 loyalists gathered in Minsk for what had been billed as a two-day congress representing all of Belarus.
Confronted with months of protests calling for him to step down after some 26 years in power, Lukashenka had said he would quit.
