Belarusan or Belarusian

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear Fellow Slavists,

I am resending this message since the first one did not seem to go  
through.  If I end up sending this message twice, I apologize in  
advance.

I need a ruling on correct usage.  What is the proper way to form an  
adjective from Belarus?  (And also the proper way to refer to a person  
from that country).  I thought it was Belarusan.  But a graduate  
student who is doing some copy editing for me and is from Belarus  
herself corrected it to Belarusian.  Which is correct?
