Our people should know the truth,” – President emphasized.
The President noted that at the same time it is necessary to perpetuate the memory of the victims of repression directly in the mahalla (regions) in which they lived.

Moreover, it is on such commemorative days that we need to visit their houses. We visit the war participants Why do not we remember the victims of repression?! After all, their life is full of heroism. We must study it, promote, bring it to young people, ”said the head of state.
