The EPP fires at ELAM.
In a statement, the EDEK comments on a reference by the President of ELAM to Vassos Lyssarides.
According to the statement, "ELAM President Christos Christou, apart from being a fugitive, is also untruthful".
The statement notes that during last night's Omega Democracy programme, ELAM President Christos Christou said:
"The Parliament itself decided on 31 January 1974 to declare him [GRIVAS] a worthy son of the homeland. 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 MPs including the late former President Tassos Papadopoulos, the late also late Vassos Lyssarides and several others. The resolution, therefore, proclaiming him a worthy son of the fatherland, passed with the votes of all parties except for 6 AKEL MPs who abstained."
As EDEK notes, H. Christou rightly points out that it is good for younger people to learn about history. "The session of the Parliament in question referred to by H. Christou referred to, was convened by the then President of the Parliament who had the authority to convene it. Vassos Lyssarides did not even attend that session, knowing that by doing so he would further emphasise his opposition to the resolution in question. We understand the reasons for the position of the President of ELAM. But once again it is confirmed that Christos Christou, apart from being a fugitive, is also unreliable", he concludes.
