Siarhei Androsenka: "On the way happened incident, such that the activists of "Young Front", grabbed two flags and attacked our activists. And then approached the organizer of the march and asked us to be in the rear of the column. Us not asked to leave but asked to stand in the rear of the column - well, we agree on this. I think this incident shows that our society is very homophobic. They not take the fact that different people have always been at various developments. And no one, no one is not tested sexual orientation. We oppose to human irresponsibility. And if now the society will be start the violence against gays and lesbians, it will be a moral Chernobyl. We have experienced a Chernobyl, and now we have to deal with human irresponsibility - ecological and sexual".
Mikalay Dzemidzenka: "Speaking theoretically, such an incident could happen, but if speaking practically, it is necessary to clarify the situation - I do not know anything about it. My attitude as I have stated day before the action - we were opposed to their participation, We were all against that Belarusian national opposition movement have something in common with a pervert. I have spoken about this many times and did not see any reason to repeat. I see no reason to repeat the words of my closest associates and friends of Dzmitry Dashkevich and Paul Sevyarynets. In this regard, I completely in agreement with them. I, too appraise participation of this group of "Chernobyl Way" only as a provocation, and it's obvious".
