MINSK 29 June (BelTA) – Nothing is more valuable than the feat of our compatriots during the Great Patriotic War, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the national ball for university graduates on 29 June, BelTA informs.
“You know, many people often say that a rich country with abundant natural resources such as gas, oil, gold and other metals is a rich nation. Nothing is more valuable than the feat of our people. We paid an enormous price for it [the victory]: we lost one third of our people in the middle of the last century,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state stressed that we must honor and be proud of the Great Victory. “We must be proud of the fact that it was our victory – of our grandfathers, great grandfathers, our parents. And everybody must revere the nation, i.e. us today, for the victory of our older generations,” the president said.
