The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USA to Ukraine Mr John Tefft invited the Leader of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, MP of Ukraine Mustafa Jemilev to take part in the reception on the occasion of the Independence Day on July 4, 2012.

The reception was given in the residence of the US Ambassador to Ukraine in Kyiv. The reception was also attended by the representatives of the diplomatic missions and international organizations, working in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian politicians and public figures.

Reference: The Independence Day is considered to be the birthday of the United States as the separate and independent state.

The majority of Americans refer this holiday just as Fourth of July – the date of its celebration.

On July 4, 1776 the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. In the premises of the City Hall of Philadelphia the representatives of 13 states ratified the document, proclaiming the independence of the United States from the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

The Declaration didn’t only become “the certificate of birth” of the new state, but the masterpiece of American literature.

The holiday is full of fireworks, barbeque and other bright events, held outdoor, as well as the concert performances and patriotic speeches.
