in france but also in all other countries from among its families were waiting. and often in vain for the return of a brother a father a husband a fiancé and during this absence there was also the admirable women engaged in the fight. there were ten million deaths six million injured and mutilated three million with. six million orphans and millions of civilians. the word police you could found that the depths of these wounds were discovered the depth. and the tears of those who fell was succeeded by

those who had survived because in france in france the whole world had come to fight young men from all problems says and overseas young men from africa the pacific from america south and north. who came to die in villages of which they did not even know the names of the millions of witnesses to this from all the nations. told of the horrors of. this off the trenches that there's a lation of the battlefields the cries of the wounded during the night the destruction of flourishing landscape it's only silhouettes were left behind. it was so many of those who came back had lost their youth their ideals and their taste of life. it if many were disfigured. blind.

lost limb and say thank you for the victors and the vanquished. in the member in the same grief. one thousand nine hundred eighteen city yes one hundred years ago so this summer it seems long ago. and yet it is like yesterday. the falseness of the week but i've been to the places of france now where the fighting was fierce is in the landscape of my country i still see the scars of the battlefield i've seen the villages that just destroyed religion especially where there was no one left behind to rebuild and which are now there as witnesses in stone of the madness. of humans i've seen on the monuments the litany of names of the french

who died from here and foreign country's history. i've seen the tombs of the soldiers only fools. and individual graves and mass graves of the bones of french and german soldiers on each side by side with people. who killed each other over a few yards and metres of soil just to stick the traces some of this war. will never be wiped away neither remembered francisco you know you know in europe while the middle east no know all over the world let us remember that does not forget going to see feel this is a cliff because the memory of these sacrifices makes us worthy of those who

fought and died so that we can be free so let us real men need to be. let us not give up the ideals the principles. it's in the path to just one of those who fought toward this vision of france as a generous nation and as a project carrying universal values is examine those dark hours that course exactly the opposite of an egoistic people that would not only look at its interests because it exactly it is not is exactly the opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a trade to that ideal. it's secure a secure protected what the most precious thing that a nation has that which is most important its moral values so let us remember of. french what claim also declared the day of the victory

a hundred years ago day by day. from the tribune of the. national assembly maybe when they heard them as they years. fighting for what's right for liberty. and france so will always be a soldier fighting for ideals these are its values you will see. that you lose her ideals those is what those forty four cents those are its valueless and its virtue of. its strength. because their heart was in it. but on the lesson of the great war.

priscus can. be that we must not forget it it. puts us under an obligation to think about the future. and to think about what is essential. since nine hundred. eighteen. those who came before us fought for peace and thought about international cooperation with. this. redrew borders. even with about a political europe. but the humiliation. the spirit of revenge in the economic and moral crisis led to a resurgence of nationalism and another war twenty years later. and it came to ravage the paths of peace.

here today peoples from all over the was a city. by the tomb. of unknown soldier stand as who stands as a symbol for all those who died for the country. so here we are so many leaders together. and we remember the martyrs of each people all these are the faces of hope for which a whole generation of young people accepted to die. so that there would be only world of peace finally. a word.

of the word of people must sound louder than weapons and arms. to. the forum will allow us to have dialogue. and has to bring harmony whether we're enemies. and this. is why there is the friendship between our country and germany and france so this on this continent. that is why there is the european union and. a union that came together freely which has never been seen in history. it is called the organization of national history the organization of the united nations shaping the destiny of the world this is sick and

which has learned from. painful setbacks that history has brought such as the treaty of versailles. don't exist and if it is a certainty that the worst will not happen as long as there are men and women of good will. who work tirelessly. without fear men and women of good will yes i know. the old demons. come back ready to bring chaos and death and. religions can take us a contagious obscure is negative force. and

they can tragically compromise our heritage of peace which we saw to see. but on this day this anniversary. may be a renewed declaration produce towards our day. to put peace above anything else because we know the price we know the way. we know. what is expected. all here political leaders we must on. this eleventh of november two thousand and eighteen reaffirm. in front of our peoples our great immense responsibility to pass on to our children nutrition us a world of future generations the world that generations have dreamt about.
