Dear friends!
On the day of professional holiday of metallurgist and miner I would like to address to each of you, in the first thing, with the words of deep gratitude and respect for your highest professional manner, faithfulness to favourite occupation, and above all – for your civic, human position at this tough, tragic time for our country.
Metallurgists and miners had been and always would be the pride and reliable shoulder of its region and the country.
We were foreordained to undergo through extreme ordeal. But I am sure, we withstand it honorably and worthily cope with it. At this uneasy time metallurgists and miners not just once showed their will of adamant, will for peace, demonstrating and proving through deeds to all, in what way it is possible to unite the efforts and bring back peace and order to the cities and houses.
We strongly and openly had come out and continue to oppose the violence, looting and war.
We strongly and openly had appealed and continue to appeal for peace! Peace over head – is the most important thing. I am sure – it will come obligatorily. Because the main value – is human life. I from the bottom of my heart wish peace to you and your families. To each township, every city, each district in our country.
Sincerely yours, Rynat Akhmetov.
