"Of course, the state showed resolve, we showed our determination and, without looking at anything or fearing anyone, we liberated our lands by saying 'we would rather die than retreat.' This is state policy and the strength of the state. This is the solidarity of our citizens. But no-one should forget that it was our heroic soldiers and officers who raised our flag on liberated lands. They sacrificed their lives, they lost their health, they saved our Motherland from the invaders by facing death and without fearing anything.
