“I am privileged to be visiting the People's Democratic Republic
of Algeria for the first time and the National Museum of Moudjahid
as an expression of my deep respect for the brotherly people of
Algeria.
The National Museum of Moudjahid is an important complex that
contains one of the most tragic and, at the same time, proud pages
of the glorious history of the Algerian people. This museum is of
exceptional importance in terms of preserving the memory of the
colonial policy of unprecedented cruelty and violence against the
Algerian people, war and crimes against humanity, the national
struggle against colonial forces and the victory of independence
won at the cost of one and a half million martyrs. It is important
from the standpoint of passing it on to future generations.
The struggle for freedom and independence, which started with the aim of getting rid of the merciless colonial slavery, is forever engraved in the history of Algeria as a symbol of great bravery, unity, unwavering will and determination of the Algerian people.
As the leader of a friendly and brotherly country, I am very proud to see the development and prosperity of fraternal Algeria, which gained independence by making great sacrifices.
I would like to express my gratitude for the warm welcome shown to me at the National Museum of Moudjahid and wish success to the museum in perpetuating the heroic heritage of the Algerian people," the head of state wrote.
