On May 9, President of the Republic of Abkhazia Raul Khadzhimba congratulated the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and all people of the Republic of Abkhazia on the 73rd anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Dear veterans! Dear compatriots!

I sincerely congratulate you on the great holiday – the Victory Day of the Great Patriotic War! This sacred date symbolizes the final defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Army and a victorious completion of the nationwide, selfless struggle against fascism.

The great heroic deed of the Soviet people brought liberation to the entire humanity from the world evil of Nazism and gave the future generations an opportunity to develop fully and move forward.

In the documentary record of these events, the Republic of Abkhazia occupies a dignified place. Before and during the Great Patriotic War, more than 55 thousand people from Abkhazia were drafted into the Soviet Army and the Navy. 17.5 thousand people from the towns and districts of Abkhazia died in the war.

We are rightfully proud of the fact that Abkhazia sent so many brave warriors to the war, who performed miracles of courage. Of them, 22 people were awarded the high title of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

We must honour the memory of the brave defenders of the Homeland, pass the knowledge of the great Victory to the young generations and glorify the history of unfading heroic deeds! May peace and justice triumph all over the world! I wish you strong health, dear veterans! Prosperity to all people of the Republic of Abkhazia!
