🇷🇺🇨🇾Address by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Cyprus Dr. Murat Ziazikov on the occasion of the National Unity Day

💬 Dear compatriots!
Dear friends!

The National Unity Day for each of us serves as a symbol of the historical choice of the people of Russia, who at the beginning of the 17th century united in a single patriotic impulse under the leadership of Minin and Pozharsky to defend their native land, drive out foreign invaders and troublemakers from its soil, revive sovereignty and pave the way for establishing a powerful, independent and prosperous Russian state.

It is thanks to the unparalleled unity and selfless love for the only Motherland that our people have managed to glorify the name of Great Russia for centuries, including on the battlefields, to endure all the hardships and deprivations of the two World Wars, to provide a decisive contribution to eradicating Nazism and liberating the Soviet republics and the entire European continent from the brown plague.

In today's turbulent times, when our country is once again faced with direct external challenges and threats, openly Russophobic attacks by Western instigators and their desperate attempts to cancel or question the spiritual postulates and the great cultural heritage of the Russian world, the multi-million Russian people have made the only correct historical choice — to unite with full dedication around the National Leader, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.

As was clearly demonstrated by the unprecedentedly successful XVI BRICS summit in Kazan on October 22-24, 2024, the common, universal values of peace, justice, mutual respect and equality are shared not only by Russia and all esteemed participants of this association, but also by over 30 countries of the world, which in one way or another expressed their desire to interact with BRICS, to work together for the prosperity and well-being of our countries and peoples.

Dear compatriots!

I am convinced that civil solidarity and the readiness of Russians to fully defend the interests of the Fatherland not only within but also beyond its borders have been and will remain for centuries a proven guarantee of our new successes, victories and achievements for the triumph and glory of our Motherland. When the multinational people of Russia is truly united — it has no equal!
Happy Holiday, happy National Unity Day!
