The Chairman of the Supreme Council of the WAC Mussa Ekzekov congratulated the representatives of the Abkhaz-Abaza ethnic group on the upcoming year of 2021.

Ekzekov noted that 2020 turned out to be a very difficult year, many have lost their relatives, close friends, who will forever remain in the hearts of those who love them.

Mussa Ekzekov recalled that in the past year there were still many joyful events, for example, the birth of a big number of children. According to the head of the WAC SC, this is a reminder that one has to live not only for today, but also build the future.

"Love for our people, which for me is one big family, a sense of responsibility for the fate of every person, every child, the hopes of our ancestors that need to be fulfilled, the trust of the Almighty inspire me to implement this special mission. I am for the revival of the Abaza ethnic group, for the inviolability of our culture and traditions, for the development of the language, for the triumph of love and goodness, for the bright future of Apsny and Russia," Ekzekov said.

In his words of congratulations, he addressed the older generation, wishing the elders "to see a worthy continuation of the family" in their children and grandchildren, in their attitude based on "love and care". Mussa Ekzekov also congratulated young people.

"Dear kids, I want to wish you great love for studies, sports, art and, of course, unlimited love for your culture and your language," he said.

"My dear people, people close to my heart, everyone who is united by the Abaza ethnic group!  New Year is a family holiday, and let love, mutual understanding, health, peace and warmth reign in every home. I hope that in the coming 2021 we will firmly and confidently, holding hands tightly, walk the path to our happiness! I wish that every day in the new year your families become stronger in all respects: in mutual understanding, love, in luck and happiness. I would like to wish all of us to understand that being together is a great happiness. Then we will take care of each other, love and appreciate the valuable things that our ancestors passed on to us: our culture, our language and traditions that unite us," he said.

In his opinion, the understanding of "happiness of being together" makes the fate of each person brighter.
