MEGOC CEO George Katulin extended greeting to everyone on the arrival of the Flame of Peace to one of the cultural pearls of Belarus. “The coincidence in the name of the Belarusian settlement and the torch relay is symbolic. One of the core values of sports is peace. The relay race in the castle demonstrates that sport is a unique language of communication for different nations,” he said.
