"Apart from being unreliable and with a problem of understanding in ELAM[/B] responds through a written statement to the EDEK, which earlier characterized the reports of Christos Chrisou about the late Vassos Lyssarides as unhistorical.
Specifically, ELAM indicates that in a statement issued today by the EDEK, it quotes the words of Mr. "The Parliament itself decided on 31 January 1974 to proclaim him (meaning George Grivas Digenis) as a worthy son of the fatherland. I remind the older people, and the younger ones are well advised to learn some things about history, that on that date it was during the administration of Archbishop Makarios, with deputies, among others, the late former President Tassos Papadopoulos, the late also Vassos Lyssarides and several others."
"We wonder", ELAM continues, "whether they are aware of simple historical facts, namely that in 1974 both Tassos Papadopoulos and Vassos Lyssarides were MPs?"
Next, ELAM notes, they quote the words of Mr. Christou's words that "The resolution, therefore, which proclaims him a worthy son of the fatherland, passed with the votes of all parties except for 6 AKEL MPs who abstained."
ELAM notes that "NOWHERE did it mention that the late Vassos Lyssarides attended the session in question and voted. HOWEVER, on that particular day, the EPP was represented in the House of Representatives by its MP Christoforos Christofides."
"Finally, Mr. Christos' statement was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. We conclude that there are two versions: either their anger towards ELAM blinds them, preventing them from understanding what we are saying, or there is a serious problem of understanding," ELAM underlines.
