September 17. National Unity Day
Why this holiday is so important for the country
We celebrate the new state holiday established by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus on September 17. This is a direct reference to the historical milestone of the unification of the Belarusian lands in 1939. The modern context is no less significant: in order to defend the right to continue to develop as an independent state in a complex and contradictory modern world, society must be united.
We need to value our history, traditions and the national foundation that has been strengthened for centuries in the people's struggle for unity and state independence.
