On 15 May in her congratulatory address with the International Family Day to Tatarstan residents, the Deputy Prime Minister of the republic Leyla Fazleeva said: “The family is the foundation of our multi-ethnic state, the firm rear and backbone for a man. It gives us strength in hour of need, teaches to trust and believe in oneself and helps to preserve spiritual and cultural traditions. It is in the family that we learn the most important things - love, responsibility and mutual respect.
A large and close-knit family has always been a source of kindness and care, a huge impetus for achieving goals. And the more happy families there are, the stronger is the country and the nation.
I express words of gratitude to married couples who have been living in love and mutual respect for dozens of years and especial gratitude to families with many children, who are raising not only their own but also adopted children.
I wish all the families good health, love and prosperity.”
