Deputy from Lehistan had finally arrived!

The Ottoman Empire, which opposed Russia's invasion of Poland in 1768, declared war on Russia but lost. As a result, Russia captured Poland. However, the Ottoman Empire did not officially recognize this, and at the ambassadors meeting held every year in the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman sultans asked: "Where is the Polish ambassador?" In every time as a response, the soldiers said: "The Polish ambassador is on the way." Many years later, session of the Council of Europe in 1990, Prime minister of Poland Tadeusz Mazowiecki took the rostrum when it was his turn to speak and said: "the long-awaited deputy from Lehistan had finally arrived." This message sent greetings to an old friend far away.
