Mr. Speaker. nationalism has been described as many things by many learned men. sometimes as a unifying. inspiring Idiom of a given group of people. sometimes as the precedent to aggressiveness and xenophobia. To a new or struggling state. nationalism has usually been the sine qua non to its existence. the lifeblood to its preservation. To a nation which has been denied the prerogative to choose and to guide its own destiny. nationalism is the battle cry for independence. the aggregate of aspirations and frustrations. Such is the case of Byelorussia. a nation of 8 million people who we will honor on March 25.
