Permanent representatives of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine to the OSCE issued a joint statement on occasion of the 65th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

“May 9 will always be remembered as the day of victory over fascism. Dozens of millions of people, who gave their lives for the freedom of future generations, will live in our hearts. We bow our hears to the veterans, who did not spare themselves for this victory.

Today, we face threats as nazi ideology, extremism and xenophobia. We call on all OSCE member countries to resolve conflicts peacefully, in compliance with the norms and principles of the international law,” the statement says.
