On June 20, on the Memorial Day of the victims of the genocide of the people of South Ossetia, all state flags will be lowered in the Republic as a sign of mourning. This was reported by Minister of Culture Zhanna Zasseeva.
According to Zasseeva, at 8 a.m. on June 20 the announcer’s text will be broadcast on the air of the State Television and Radio Company “IR”, and the running line will remind viewers that on June 20 at 12:00, after the head of state Anatoly Bibilov officially addressed the people on the air of the State Television and Radio Company “Ir”, a national minute of silence will be announced.
Zhanna Zasseeva has appealed to every citizen of our Republic with a request to remember the victims and honor their memory.
“If you are reading a book, close it and stand up. If at this time you are on the street - stop. If you got a phone call, turn it off. If you are traveling by car, stop. If you are sitting and working, pause the work and get up. Give this minute to everyone who died and whose souls were ruined, let everyone who remembers them, visit bright thoughts. And as long as we remember - we live,” Zasseeva emphasized.
Let everyone think about where he will spend the Memorial Day for the victims of the genocide of the people of South Ossetia, the Minister of Culture said.
“Maybe in solitude, or in a cemetery. Or standing on the square listening to the funeral music of our famous composers. Think about the cost of our lives today, because there could be ten times as many people in the city, there would be no abandoned villages, empty houses, and each family would be proud of a large number of its representatives. And what force would they have been during the great Patriotic war…If only history could be turned back “, the Minister noted.
