GREETING of President of the Republic of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev on the occasion of Sabantuy 2004

7 June 2004, Monday
Dear Tatarstanians!

On behalf of the State Council, Government of the republic and on my own behalf I would like to greet you on the occasion of the traditional national holiday of Sabantuy!

The history of Sabantuy goes back to time immemorial, it marks awakening of the ground, symbolises diligence, joy, and optimism of our people. And today, after the sowing is over, we honour the most distinguished workers, those who provided a firm ground to future harvest, who make a significant contribution to the development of our republic.

Sabantuy has always been and remains a long-awaited and merry event. It reflects the soul of people. Being a binding spiritual thread for many generations, it allows us to realise our belonging to the best traditions and values of the Tatar people.

From all my soul I wish you good spirits and let Sabantuy bring you bright impressions, strength and confidence in tomorrow. Health, happiness, and well-being to you and your families.
