We joined the united Europe but unfortunately our homeland, Cyprus continues to be divided, DISY President and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Averof Neophytou said today. He noted that the struggles are for better days for our children.
In statements after a symbolic planting of an olive tree in Larnaca with the President of the youth of the European People's Party. Neophytou expressed satisfaction for the reception in Cyprus of "the youth of the EPP, our great European political group."
He added that "this symbolic tree planting for us Cypriots is of particular value, because we have joined the united Europe and our country unfortunately continues to be divided. The olive tree, the symbol of peace, progress and prosperity that we planted today, I am sure that it will take root to give us strength in our struggle for the reunification of our divided homeland."
All struggles, he continued, "are for better days for our children and to ensure dignity for our children we must first ensure that they have a homeland."
All struggles, he continued, "are for better days for our children and to ensure dignity for our children we must first ensure that they have a homeland. It is not enough to have a homeland, you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel to have a strong economy," he said.
This, Averof Neophytou said, "is our vision as the Democratic Rally and with these principles and goals we are running in these elections, for a united homeland for a strong economy in the difficult times ahead, to give opportunities for decent citizens."
Dignity, above all, he continued, "is built when you have a proud homeland and a strong economy."
I want, said Averof Neophytou, "every Synergy member and every young Cypriot to feel proud of his homeland. But we are doubly proud because it is our party, with Glafkos Clerides, that put Cyprus in the united Europe."
Moreover, the President of the Youth of the European People's Party Lidia Pereira thanked the President of DISY for reaffirming his commitment to the youth and added that his presence with us today means a lot.
