Chisinau, 27 April /MOLDPRS/- President Nicolae Timofti today conveyed a message on the National Flag Day, the presidential press service has reported.
The message reads:
“Today, we mark the the Day of the National Flag of Moldova – Tricolor, with the coat of arms placed in the center of the yellow colour, officially legislated on 27 April 1990.
Along with State Anthem and Coat of Arms, the flag represents one of the vital symbols defining the identity of our people. We fought for these symbols and defended Independence, Sovereignty and Integrity, when the Dniestre meadow was turned into a shooting range. Our ancestors fought for these symbols with the arm of truth, including in debates from the national legislative forum.
Under the banner of the flag, we experience deep feelings at different solemnities and special events. Our flag is accompanying Moldovan sportsmen in moments of victory and joy. Under the banner of Tricolor, we honour the memory and deeds of our heroes. The state flag is the symbol with which Moldovan servicemen participate in peacekeeping missions.
Each of us should feel the pride of being a citizen of this country, with its aspirations and needs, not only today, but at any time. The patriotic feeling is the one providing the spiritual connection between generations, being the force that contributes to the perpetuation of this nation.
Let’s honour with dignity the National Tricolor, which is a confirmation of our past, present and future. It unites us and makes us strong in decisive moments for destiny and history!
Happy birthday, Tricolour!”
