Alexander Lukashenko: Day of Liberation of Belarus is the symbol of national pride

MINSK, 2 July (BelTA) – Alexander Lukashenko congratulated countrymen on the main national holiday, Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus, and on the great historical date – the 65th anniversary of Belarus’ liberation from the Nazi invaders, BelTA learnt from the presidential press service. “For the Belarusian nation the victory over the aggressor epitomizes the triumph of justice, freedom, and endurance over slavery, barbarism, and violence. We bow to all those who did not spare themselves on the frontlines and in the rear, bringing closer the Day of Liberation! The Day is very important for our sovereign state. This is the symbol of national pride, valour and glory; this is the spiritual treasure which has a big impact on the formation of the identity and mentality of the generations of the Belarusians. It helps us overcome the difficulties with dignity and move confidently toward our goals,” Alexander Lukashenko said. Having lost every third citizen and having gone through all the horrors of the war, Belarus has been consistently and actively advocating the idea of settling disputes by means of negotiations, not through new conflicts, the President said. Alexander Lukashenko views the Victory over the fascism in the Great Patriotic War as the basis consolidating all peace-loving forces of various countries and nations. “When we are untied, we are invincible. Nobody will be ever able to break us, intimidate us, and lead us astray from our aim to build a strong and flourishing Belarus,” says the President in his message of congratulation to the Belarusian people. Alexander Lukashenko wished compatriots inexhaustible energy, good health, happiness and well-being.
