Congratulations of Akim of Atyrau region Serik Shapkenov on the Defender of the Fatherland Day

Dear citizens of Atyrau!

Congratulations on Defender of the Fatherland Day!

The establishment of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan on May 7, 1992 was one of the brightest periods in the history of our country.

True to the heroism and national traditions of our people, our Armed Forces are being formed in accordance with any modern, competitive, combat readiness and strong potential.

It is no coincidence that the Defender of the Fatherland Day comes on the eve of the Great Victory Day. This demonstrates the unshakable continuity between the older generation and the soldiers who are standing in line today, the defenders of our sovereign country.

Every family will never forget the selfless deeds of our ancestors, will cherish the heroic deeds of our mothers, will be proud of the soldiers who defended the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.

Defenders of the Fatherland must always be a standard of honor and justice, an example for future generations. Thousands of our young people are fulfilling their civic duty in our mighty Army, and the Armed Forces of our country are a real school of heroism and patriotism for our young compatriots. We are confident that the new Kazakhstan will always be at the forefront of increasing its military potential and high combat readiness.

I wish you a happy day, peace and success in combat training!

 

Serik SHAPKENOV,

Akim of Atyrau region
