MINSK, 4 May (BelTA) – The Council of the Republic honored media executives and workers on the occasion of the professional holidays - Press Day and Radio, Television and Communications Workers' Day, BelTA has learned.
Representatives of national and regional media received awards from Chairperson of the Council of the Republic Natalya Kochanova. Among those honored was Artem Apanovich, a correspondent of the Belarusian news agency BelTA.
“We are glad that in these first days of May we have the opportunity to meet with you, with those who are on the front lines today, because the information space has become a battlefield in our time. Together, we are thwarting attempts to distort information, to spread fake news and lies to the people, to rewrite our history which is sacred to us. We are doing everything possible to ensure that the truth is preserved and passed down from generation to generation,” Natalya Kochanova said addressing those present.
The Speaker noted that the meeting took place on the eve of the professional holidays of media workers and in the run-up to Victory Day. “Now we understand how important it was back then [during the Great Patriotic War] to defend freedom and independence. Today, our opponents are trying to rewrite the truth about those events. But that is all impossible because there are people who work with words, who stand guard over the truth, the sovereignty of our country, and the legacy of older generations,” she noted.
