Belarus icon Tichanowskaja writes in the IMAGE - As it was in the summer of 1989, Mrs Merkel?

dear Madam Federal Chancellor,

often, I wonder how close to Belarus is freedom? How will look our way in the democracy? I often think of you. How have you been then, in the summer of 1989? What did you feel? Whether you were aware of the freedom you sure?

These times in the halls today, like an Echo in Belarus, and give us hope for a new beginning.

your life, Madam Chancellor, a strong moral attitude are a role model for me, as for many women of my and for generations to come. You have laid a Foundation stone for a new understanding of politics. A value-driven policy, not to your own interests, but about the common good. The trust held the Power.
