“Dear citizens of the Republic!

Hyamsara mekhoi!

Today we celebrate the centenary of the formation of the statehood of the Republic of Ingushetia – a significant date that opened a new chapter in the history of our people!

On July 7, 1924, a separate Ingush Autonomous Region was formed as part of the RSFSR. This event was an important step in our development.

Over the years, Ingushetia went through difficult trials, but always remained true to its traditions, culture and spirit. We are proud of our heritage and continue to build a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

Today Ingushetia is a dynamically developing region with great potential. We have done a lot to preserve and strengthen our statehood and will continue to work to improve the lives of residents of the republic.

On this festive day, I sincerely congratulate you on this important historical date for our people.

I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity and success in all endeavors!

May our beloved Ingushetia always be peaceful and prosperous! – Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov.
