Kazakhstan and Greece Highlighted the Importance of Preserving the Memory of the Great Victory

A conference dedicated to the historical legacy of the Great Victory was held in Athens, organized by the Greek public discussion club «Dialogos». During the event, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Greece Timur Sultangozhin presented Kazakhstan’s approaches to preserving historical memory, strengthening social unity, and promoting the principles of peace and international cooperation amid current global challenges.

In his speech, it was noted that the memory of the Great Patriotic War occupies a special place in the historical consciousness of the people of Kazakhstan. More than 1.2 million people from Kazakhstan were drafted into the ranks of the Red Army, and 600 thousand of them never returned from the battlefield. The Ambassador emphasized that these figures reflect not only the scale of the tragedy, but also the enormous price the nation paid for peace and freedom.

«The lessons of the war remind us that humanity must remain united in the face of common challenges and reject any ideologies that seek to divide societies» the Ambassador of Kazakhstan emphasized.

The conference also presented the political transformations currently underway in Kazakhstan. It was noted that the constitutional reforms initiated by President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev are aimed at building a more just and inclusive state based on the principles of rule of law, respect for human rights, social harmony, and social responsibility.

Special attention during the conference was paid to the importance of preserving international dialogue, mutual respect, and the search for balanced solutions amid growing global tensions.
