On the occasion of the great feast of Christmas, I express to all of our internees in Carpasia the appreciation and admiration of all of us.
Despite the problems and difficulties, you remain rooted in the land of your ancestors, waiting for the day that will bring the reunification of our island and lead us to a new era. An era that will promise much more, especially to the new generations, who want and demand to have a stronger right to life. Cyprus is one, a common homeland for all of us. And you, here in Karpasia, are possessed more than all of us by the great desire and longing for the reunification of our homeland, so that together we can all move forward with our hopes and aspirations strengthened for a future that promises much more for our homeland and our people.
It is for this future that we are working with all sincerity and goodwill.
It is for this future that we are working with all sincerity and goodwill. We always hope to create the conditions that will allow us to realize our vision and goals that will open wide the horizons for the prevalence of conditions of freedom, security, democracy and prosperity for all without exception. We do not want citizens with fewer rights, we do not want people trapped, nor refugees, in our own homeland.
Dear children,
I always address you with emotion because you represent an entire history, that of Cypriot Hellenism on the peninsula of our Saints and Heroes.
I express our unlimited love. Continue with vigor the struggle of learning here at the Rizokarpassos schools. The struggle for the land that gave birth to your parents and grandparents.
Undoubtedly, all the ideals of Hellenism in Cyprus are concentrated in our schools here in Rizokarpaso. It is for this reason that your struggle to survive here, with patience, perseverance, strength and faith in what you stand for, is of particular value and importance. You are the continuation of our history, the expectation and hope for tomorrow.
Along with your parents, your teachers are also worthy of admiration and appreciation, who support in every way your efforts to acquire the necessary skills for your life.
Along with my own wishes for Christmas and the New Year, I convey those of the President of the Republic, Mr. Nicos Anastasiades to all of you, the students, teachers, parents and all of us stranded here in proud and heroic Karpasia.
May the birth of the God-Man and the New Year strengthen our hopes and aspirations for the reunification of our homeland.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, personal and family health and happiness.The greeting was read on behalf of the Commissioner of the Presidency by the Inspector of Primary Education, Mrs Neophyta Kameri)
