Day of Fatherland defenders

27 February 2001, Tuesday
The defenders of Fatherland of all generations met on February 23 at the Kazan Drama Theatre to celebrate this national holiday.

They were congratulated by RT President Mintimer Shaimiev.

Today we celebrate this holiday with a special pride - realizing the role of each of us in defending our Fatherland, he said. It can't be different, the state not capable to protect itself will not be respected by its people, other states. Protecting its people, Russia should also protect interests of all civilized world, especially in conditions of transition to the way of democratic development. It is not easy, but it is the price of our native land. Tatarstan always largely contributed to the defensive potential of the country and is ready to do it in the future.
