What is asked of young people today is this:
do not let yourselves be forced into enmity and hatred
of other people,
of Russians or Americans, Jews or Turks,
of alternatives or conservatives, blacks or whites.
Learn to live together, not in opposition to each other.
As democratically elected politicians, we, too, should heed this time and again and set a good example.
Let us honour freedom.
Let us work for peace.
Let us respect the rule of law.
Let us be true to our own conception of justice.
On this 8th of May, let us face up as well as we can to the truth.»
