Leader of the “For Freedom” movement Alyaksandr Milinkevich made an appeal ahead of the celebration the Belarusian National Republic 90th anniversary on 25 March.
Dear friends!
Every year 35 March we celebrate Freedom Day, the day that has become a holiday of a Belarusian soul, a ground for pride of the Belarusian people.
The best sons of our land made a brave step 90 years ago, 25 March 1918, and declared the world Belarusians had the desire and the right to have their free independent democratic state – the Belarusian National Republic.
The BNR founders and their followers laid their devoted activities for the sake of Motherland in the basis of independence of our country.
Our people has been dreaming about its independence during the dramatic 20th century. The independence of Belarus was renewed in 1991. But only direct will of people expressed in actions is able to create a strong state.
Let’s do so that 25 March holiday come to every Belarusian house and family. Let’s demonstrate the strength of the Belarusian spirit and belief! Let’s run up with dignity holy national white-red-white flags and Pahonya court-of-arms.
There have been, are, and will be lots of us! We will win!
Long live Belarus!
It should be reminded that the Minsk city executive committee permitted the demonstration dedicated to the BNR 90th anniversary on a traditional route from the Academy of Sciences to Banhalor Square. The organisers of the celebration of Freedom Day disagreed with it and said being the citizens of Belarus they would come to Yakub Kolas Square at 6.00pm, where the solemn demonstration would begin.
