CSTO PA Secretariat Took Part in a Solemn Mourning Ceremony at the Piskaryovskoye Cemetery

 On May 8, the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly Secretariat took part in a solemn mourning ceremony at the Piskaryovskoye Cemetery. 

The event is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. 

"Today we remember with deep respect and sorrow the heroes who defended our common Motherland. Their courage and resilience will always remain an example for all of us and a symbol of the unity of the peoples of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Remembering them is our duty and the basis for strengthening peace and security," said Mikhail Krotov, Plenipotentiary Representative of the Federal Assembly of Russia to the CSTO PA. 

Representatives of the Secretariat and the honor guard laid a wreath and flowers at the Motherland Monument, paying tribute to the fallen soldiers with a minute of silence, and walked along the memorial alleys to the sound of a metronome.

The CSTO Parliamentary Assembly is actively working to protect the historical truth. For example, on December 19, 2023, the Assembly adopted Recommendations on Liability for the Actions Related to Nazism Rehabilitation and Distortion the Historical Truth.
