Politicians, parties, public organizations from Asia, Europe, the United States share the grief of the Belarusians and promise - Khatyn and the sacrifice, which the Belarusian people brought, will not be forgotten.
The leader of the Czech communists Vojtech Philip expressed in his letter gratitude to all the Belarusians who gave their lives for the sake of the freedom of European nations. By the way, the Czechs have their own Khatyn, the village of Lidice.
"The Belarusian Khatyn, the Czech village of Lidice, the French Derven Oradour and the massacre in Greek Distomo will always remind us of the cruelty of Nazism and in such a modest way we express respect to all people who laid their lives on the altar of our freedom."
"We will not allow to forget the heroism and sacrifices of the Belarusian people," the Hungarian politicians write to the President and Belarusians.
"The fascists viciously took revenge on the Belarusian people, who defended their land, their homes. They killed and exterminated, bringing suffering to millions. We will not forget and will not allow to forget the heroism and sacrifices of the Belarusian people. "
A letter from Germany talks about the importance of learning from the past. The authors of the telegram quote Alexander Lukashenko's statement about the peaceful nature of the Belarusians and the rejection that the inhabitants of our country are experiencing for armed conflicts.
"A very positive experience is the acquisition of friendship between our peoples and the extraction of lessons from the past. You, Your Excellency, have recently quite rightly stated that after the tragic experience that the country had to endure, a genetic rejection of any kind of armed conflict was formed in Belarus, with the exception of defense against external aggression. We fully support this! "
The Khatyn tragedy is also remembered by Jews,the people who passed through the Holocaust. In a telegram to the address of Alexander Lukashenko, representatives of this nationality living in the United States report that they always try to tell to the citizens of the United States about the tragedy of Khatyn and the courage of the Belarusians manifested during the war years.
