Let us thank and remember that we are obliged to preserve the peace for which they have fought and to never allow such tragedies to be repeated. Let us not accept messages of hatred and division.
Let us promote unity and understanding on our lands, build a better future together # For Moldova, so that sacrifices in the past have not been in vain. "
