It is a special day and one of the most glorious in our history, said Speaker of Parliament Anita Demetriou, after the trisagion and the laying of wreaths at the Prisoners' Memorials on Friday.
We are here today, she said, to honour our lads, those who sacrificed themselves in this glorious struggle so that Cyprus could then enjoy its independence.
"Such days remind us of our duty, with unity and unanimity, to work until we can see our country liberated and reunited. This is the first and highest goal and we will not stop for a moment until we achieve what our homeland deserves, a prosperous, peaceful, reunited and free Cyprus. As befits a European, independent state governed by the rule of law."
