Bishkek, May 9, 2022 / Kabar /. President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov today, May 9, on Victory Square in Bishkek, took part in a requiem on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The head of state laid flowers at the Eternal Flame and honored the memory of those who died in the Great Patriotic War with a minute of silence.
Addressing the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and home front workers, the president delivered a congratulatory message.
“Victory Day is a national holiday that has become a symbol of military prowess, courage and glory. On this day, with a special sense of respect, we remember the unprecedented feat of our fathers and grandfathers, who bravely fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War and selflessly worked in the rear for the Great Victory, peaceful life and freedom of future generations. The names of Kyrgyz soldiers are inscribed in golden letters in the history of the Great Patriotic War. The eternal memory of their great feat will forever remain in our hearts and will inspire us to new achievements in the name of the further development of our beloved Motherland. We bow our heads before the veterans, pay tribute to the memory of the fallen in battles and express our gratitude to the home front workers. We have no right to forget those to whom we owe our lives and our freedom.
The immortal deeds of fathers and grandfathers will forever shine in the sky of military glory as an example and standard of military prowess and honor, patriotism, courage and heroism.
More than 360,000 Kyrgyz people took part in this war, of which over 150,000 received high state awards for their courage and heroism, including 22 fellow countrymen became full holders of the Order of Glory, and 77 became Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, more than 100,000 Kyrgyzstanis died and went missing during the Great Patriotic War.
Years will pass, but the names of our countrymen, heroic soldiers, all those who gave their lives in the name of saving humanity from fascism, in the name of the happiness of their native country and all peoples on earth never be forgotten. Unfortunately, every year the ranks of our dear veterans, those who know the price of a real Victory, are thinning. Surrounding them with attention and care not only on holidays, but also in everyday life is our duty and obligation. A low bow to all of you for your heroism at the front, for your labor achievements in the rear,” President Zhaparov said wising everybody good health, longevity, happiness and prosperity, peace and prosperity to Kyrgyzstan.
