In her congratulatory address to Tatarstan residents on the occasion of the Father’s Day, the regional Deputy Prime Minister Leila Fazleeva wrote:
“From the bottom of my heart let me congratulate you with the holiday!
Fatherhood is both a mission and a purpose of a real man.
Dad means protection and support, strength and courage, safety and sereneness of the family. It is with a dad that our warm reminiscences of childhood are connected with. He gives caress and love to his daughter and to his son – knowledge and an example what it means to be a man who is always ready to protect his family and Motherland. It is father who plays the leading role in preservation and stable development of the family institute, in preservation of traditions, values and buttress of our country, in provision of security of the republic and the state.
I wish all dads to stay a tower of strength and a role model for their families. May warm atmosphere of mutual understanding and prosperity always prevail in your families and the joy of fatherhood and feats and successes of your children make you stronger and happier.”
