I heartily congratulate you on the 77th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War!
This holiday is full of joy and sorrow, this is truly a symbol of the heroism and unparalleled courage of our people, who selflessly defended peace on earth.
By celebrating this significant date today, we remember that it came at the cost of incalculable suffering, sacrifice and deprivation. The disasters that befell the Motherland in the forties of the last century rallied into one large family of people with different nationalities and religions, different views and beliefs, who stood up in unison to defend their land.
Remembering with gratitude the feat of those who, at the cost of their lives, military and labour efforts, brought peace to our land, withstood the mournful year of the enemy invasion, we are called upon to preserve the greatest of the achievements of the Victory - peace and harmony between people.
I am convinced that the good relations that have developed between the leadership of Kazakhstan and representatives of traditional confessions, the trusting church-state and interreligious dialogue contribute to ensuring that the lessons of the Great Victory are not forgotten, but continue to serve the future of the people of Kazakhstan.
On this sacred and festive day, in all Orthodox Churches of Kazakhstan, a prayer of thanksgiving is performed for the deliverance of mankind from the fascist yoke and a special commemoration of the deceased soldiers who died in agony during the Great Patriotic War.
Dear Kassym-Zhomart Kemelevich, I sincerely wish you health, strength of mind and body, and blessed success in your service for the benefit of Kazakhstan.зақстанның игілігіне деген қызметіңізге баталы табыстар тілеймін.
