According to the head of state, this is the point of diversity and politics. “It is you, talented people, who are at the origins of every economy and political event. This is the essence of creation, the path to a just, secure future for all of us. I say this here because talented performers from different countries meet at the Summer Amphitheatre annually. Every year there is an atmosphere of friendship and respect. This is the essence of our entire policy,” the president noted.
