I hope that the message of this exhibition will get to a great number of people in many towns and in many regions, to the young as well as to the elderly and I will be only too glad to be of service to the cause. I will work to promote the setting up in the foreseeable future of a museum in memory of the victims of the communist regime in this country, a place where the young people of present day Bulgaria and the future generations will be made aware of the facts about the totalitarian state, its institutions and its State Security apparatus, the way they used to function and the decisions they used to take.
I am here with you today to tell you that you have my full support for a worthy cause. I also realize that it is our duty and our responsibility to address ourselves to the young people of Bulgaria and to assure them that we can face the future without concealing or distorting the truth about the past. We know that a people can only have a future if they respect their past and are proud of it.
