I'm not sure if ever there was a country that so many, for so long and persistently tried to destroy – as they have been trying to destroy you. A quarter of a century ago, an army fourth in Europe by its strength, attacked you; they were tearing you apart from inside out, trying to prove that you were an historical mistake even though, my dear, you are historically much older and more stable than any of them: it is the history itself that has verified your constancy, historical foundation and rationale.

In that assault on you by three neighboring countries, your three unfaithful neighbors, Europe was watching without blink of an eye, equally unfaithfully, as an accomplice, as they were attempting to destroy you with the cruelest of methods such as concentration camps and genocide (shame on you, 'democratic' Europe!).

And even the UN – shamefully so and without doubting – allowed for a genocide to happen in their 'zone of protection', in your historical and living tissue, while imposing upon you and those who had defended you – an arms embargo, preventing you to defend yourself.

That's how the UN – which had previously recognized you – literally tied your hands when you were faced with the fourth conventional army in Europe.  

Even today Europe and UN do not behave with more moral and honesty! They have lost the right to speak of humanity. And yet you have survived... With deep wounds though, but you survived – with hope, even with strong faith that you will step into a future as long as your history which remembers numerous other assaults.

We've never heard of a country in which – at its very top, the presidency – sit people who get big salaries and at the same time, for a quarter of a century, have been trying to destroy you, without even trying to hide it before the whole world, or before the protector you've been (temporarily) entrusted to.

It is the highest degree of a political, societal disease, of their pathology. And all that is being observed by that same Europe and the same UN and their protector. It doesn't indicate your disease but their political and psychological pathology, it speaks about their social and political deviancy in the face of the whole world, however, at the same time it says a great deal about your extraordinary, quite unique resilience.

The states collapsed when attacked from the outside, but NOW they are trying to destroy you from within, with help from the outside; they are trying to unsettle you in every possible way, even with so called refugees and countless obstructions...

Genuinely concerned and intense, I live your destiny and so much wish to help you...

I believe that their destruction and pathology will recede because they don't know something very important:

Since you have existed for so long, exposed to all kind of stabs, you are no longer only a state – over the past 100 years you have become a LAND, which is something the aggressive politics didn't factor in and which secures an immunity for you that your enemies do not know where it comes from...

That's where your strength lies... and in our faith in you...

You are a miracle.

I'm proud of you.

I ardently listen... to see what I can do for you because more than anything else I want to be worthy of you...

I wish you a happy birthday, with love and hope,
