EVERYONE WHO LOVES THE FATHERLAND IS ITS DEFENDER
Since December 29, 1993, "January 14 - Defender of the Fatherland Day" has been celebrated in our country. In fact, protecting the Motherland is a sacred duty for everyone. In fulfilling this duty, the National Army, which are the defenders of our country, and all the law enforcement agencies, which are the defenders of our country, should evaluate their service in ensuring the peaceful and peaceful life of our people and create the necessary conditions for them. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's speech "Army and people - one flesh and one soul!" the noble idea and practical action covers the activities of all levels of government and management agencies, neighborhood, youth, women, intellectual organizations, educational institutions, and the life of the general public. This is a clear indication that the defense of the Motherland is really becoming not only our duty, but also our honorable duty. Yes, the People and the National Army are always on the same page. Also, in order to be a defender of the motherland, it is not necessary to be a soldier, it is enough to love it, live, work, and create for its prosperity and well-being. "January 14 - Defender of the Fatherland Day" is celebrated every year in our country with great joy. This kind of attention and recognition shows the high appreciation of the services of responsible professionals to the Motherland, and gives them strength, courage and, of course, loyalty to their future activities. This day is the holiday of every boy and girl who truly loves their Motherland, who spends all their strength, abilities and knowledge for its prosperity. I take this opportunity to congratulate them from the bottom of my heart! May your meritorious work for the development of the country continue! May you be responsible for the peace of our country and good luck in your honorable work!
