Warsaw - Polish parliament passed a resolution Wednesday that remembers victims of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, calling the attack to start of "the suffering of millions of Poles."

"The truth about World War II isn't just difficult for Russia and Germany," the resolution says. "It can't be hidden and should serve not to open, but heal wounds."

The resolution marked the 69th anniversary of the September 17 attack that ended in a decisive victory for the Red Army, and later communist rule in Poland.

The Soviet invasion came some two weeks after the Nazi invasion of Poland, after the two powers signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939. (dpa)
