- It is marriage, family and continuity of generations that form the spiritual foundation for the development of our society.

According to him, the traditional foundations, which have served as a support for society for centuries, are now subject to revision and destructive external pressure. In these circumstances, the protection of the institution of the traditional family becomes a strategic national interest for Belarus and a key element of national security.

The most important element of family support in Belarus is a socially oriented system of protection of motherhood and childhood. She is recognized as one of the best in the world. A.

Residents pay 10% of the cost of the project and 90% of the budget. Citizens themselves decide what equipment to install and how to equip the yard. After installing the equipment, people usually organize a "Dirt Festival" with animators, concert numbers, contests for children and master classes. Tsuran also mentioned the sessions of the City Council, which approve the budget, the investment program of the city and other documents.

Separately, he focused on youth policy. The City Council has a Youth Council. Among the ongoing projects are the International Forum of Young Parliamentarians and the Best Young Specialist of the Year.
