The unveiling of the bust of Evagoras Pallikaridis took place on Friday 8 July, in the homonymous square of Agia Paraskevi, Athens.
The keynote speaker at the event was the Bishop of Paphos, George, while the Mayor of Agia Paraskevi, Vassilis Zorbas, delivered a speech, the representative of the Initiative Committee Manolis Miliarakis, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus Kyriakos Kenevezos, the President of OCOE George Syllouris, and the granddaughter of the Hero's sister, Magdalene Stavrinidis.
First among the chosen heroes of Cypriot Hellenism, the Metropolitan of Paphos described Evagoras Pallikaridis, stressing that his death became a guiding beacon of the people as he knew that freedom is won only with blood. "Evagoras proved to be a model of Greek education and became a global reference point as he became a man with a passion for freedom," the Metropolitan of Paphos said.
