“For me, the main priorities are improving the well-being of people and improving the quality of their lives. Through these things I look at all the other processes that occur, including in the economy. This is the main result. We can talk about growth, about something else. “But if people’s salaries don’t grow, the quality of life does not improve, then nobody needs our work,” he said.

Alexander Turchin promised to pay special attention to the development of the social sphere, primarily healthcare and education, and the strengthening of their material and technical base.

“The importance of the Minsk region can hardly be overestimated, because it is probably the most economically powerful region of the country,” he emphasized. “In 2011-2015, the average annual GRP growth was more than 4%, the national average was 1.2%. In 2016-2018 - 2.3% in the region, the average annual GRP, less than one - in the country. These results speak for themselves. "

Alexander Turchin spoke about his professional experience and work in the regional executive committee, where he worked under three governors - he began under Leonid Krupets, then worked with Boris Batura, Semyon Shapiro. And now replaces Anatoly Isachenko at the post. "All these governors made a significant contribution to the development of the region. These results of the Minsk region have a share of each of them," he said.

The principles of his work, as well as the main principles of life, have remained unchanged for many years. “For me, honesty, decency, professionalism are the main qualities that characterize each of you both as an official and as a person,” said Alexander Turchin.
