MINSK, 23 February (BelTA) – Security and stability are supreme values of the Belarusian nation. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement during the ceremony held on 23 February to award new ranks to top officers of the army and power-wielding agencies, BelTA has learned.
“Today Belarus celebrates one of the most important holidays for the country — Day of the Fatherland’s Defenders,” noted the head of state. “Our nation has always held in high esteem the selfless labor of the men in uniform.
