DPA expresses concern about the "security gaps in the E.F.", after the death of the 27-year-old SYOP commando during an exercise.
"It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to another member of the National Guard, who in peacetime, gave his life for our country during a military exercise," the DIPA said in a statement.
Referring to the third loss of life in the last 14 months, the DIPA said there is "much in common and that the Ministry of Defence, the National Guard and every responsible party must thoroughly investigate."
"We publicly express our deep concern about the long delay in investigations to ascertain the circumstances of the deaths of our officers, as well as the obvious shortcomings in areas of ensuring their safety and health in the line of duty," it says.
At the very least, he notes, we owe it to our fallen young men and their families "to ascertain the exact circumstances of their deaths and correct any errors and omissions, protecting against further unnecessary and unwarranted loss of life."
In conclusion, the Democratic Party - Coalition of Democratic Forces expresses its sincere condolences to the family of the Contract Soldier-Contractor Panagiotis Giannou. "
