He said that the established annual ball and other events held by the Pancyprian Artillery Reserves Association highlight the relationship of solidarity and the unbreakable bonds of friendship and brotherhood among the reserve gunners of the National Guard.
Mr. Petridis invited those present to turn their thoughts for a moment to the heroic gunners, who wrote pages of glory on the battlefields in 1974, fighting against the Turkish invader, giving their lives on the altar of duty.
He expressed his eternal gratitude, assuring that their sacrifice is not forgotten, but is a debt unpaid for all and they will continue their efforts to live up to the expectations of the people and history.
He pledged that they will dedicate the best of their efforts to the vindication of their struggles.
"A vindication that can only come through a viable solution to the Cyprus problem, which will end the occupation, while paving the way for the reunification of our homeland in conditions of freedom, security and stability, based on the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the principles and values of the European Union." The Defence Minister also said that "in this struggle for the restoration of historical reality, we must all join forces", to conclude that "the consistent and enthusiastic participation in the ranks of the armed reserve army boosts the morale of society and strengthens the Government's efforts to solve the problem that has plagued Cyprus for so many years".
