Together with the professors and students of Renaissance Educational University "Economics" department, in connection with "May 9 - Day of Remembrance and Appreciation" they visited the "Memorial of Repression Victims" museum under the theme "There is no future without historical memory".
Remembrance means valuing everyone's loved ones, remembering people who have passed away and praying for them. As the leader of your country said: "We will take spirit and strength from them and fulfill our high duty of being defenders of the Motherland, guardians of peace, creators of the new Uzbekistan with honor." There is a saying in our people that "He who appreciates will find value". In fact, if a person is sincere and shows respect to others, he will receive the same attitude from those around him. Those who have served for the development of the country and peace of the people will not be forgotten forever because of their good deeds. Their names will always be mentioned with honor, and their memories will remain forever.
