The solution of the Cyprus problem and the reunification of our homeland was and remains our supreme national goal, stressed tonight the Minister of Defence, Charalambos Petrides, at an event in honour of the EOKA struggle at the Mavrommatis Association of St. Pavlos.
In his speech, Mr. Petridis said that "every year, on these days, we are called upon to stand with respect before our history, celebrating two of our most important national anniversaries and to draw the messages that history itself signs as the eternal legacy of Hellenism."
"We pay," he added, "the minimum tribute to all those who honoured the homeland with their blood. To all those people, known and unknown, who, overcoming the limits of reason, with their self-denial and courage, achieved what seemed impossible. He said that "the sacrifices of the heroes of 1821 and 1955 and the sacrifices and tears of the generation of 1974 point to the duty and the debt that we all bear today."

"This is our historical responsibility. This is our unpaid debt and our debt to all the heroes who gave their lives for freedom. We owe it to our history, we owe it to our heroes."
