It is with sincere feelings of joy that I am here today, on behalf of the President of the Republic, who, due to other unfulfilled obligations and despite his wish to the contrary, has not been able to be here with you.
I would like to warmly congratulate the Pancyprian Organization of Polygamous Mothers for the annual celebration of the polygamous mother, which takes place within the framework of World Mother's Day and which has become an institution, honoring all mothers and especially those who, as polygamous mothers, were lucky enough to give birth to and raise many children.
Today's event gives us the opportunity to express our immense respect for the sacred person of the Mother, the universal symbol of life and selfless love, but also our admiration for the Mother with many children, an eternal example of self-sacrifice and overcoming the difficulties that this offer entails.
The mother, apart from being a compass, a guide, for her children, acts as the most precious link of family cohesion, through her patience and perseverance. Putting aside every difficulty, she helps and supports her children until the day she closes her eyes forever. Her life is a constant course of giving and sacrifice.
An important feature of today's event is the fact that we are honouring a total of 225 mothers. Mothers who gave birth to six children, mothers who gave birth to and raised five children, as well as mothers who raised and offered four soldiers to their country and have not been honored to date.
We bow our heads reverently and honor all of you, mothers of many children, because you offer fighters and heroes to your country. You raise children who are protagonists in the intellectual, professional, scientific and social arena in general. With your admonitions you contribute decisively to the preservation of our morals, values and culture. Your constructive attitude supports the bonds of the family in all kinds of economic and social problems, but also in every difficulty it faces.
In the unprecedented situations we are experiencing today, with the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the flood of information of dubious value, the role of the mother is becoming ever more necessary and essential for maintaining the cohesion of the family and, by extension, of society as a whole.
Friends,
I would like to stress that the state has the duty and obligation to stand by and provide all possible care to the large mother as a reward for her social contribution. At the same time, I would like to stress that this is in no way a matter of charity or an expression of compassion. It is a duty and obligation stemming from her enormous contribution to her country.
It is an important political act of the present government to develop a social policy that meets the needs of modern women. In this effort we have you, the Pancyprian Organization of Multiparent Families, as our companions and partners, with the common goal of continuously improving and strengthening the position of large families.
I assure you that the requests you have submitted are examined and every effort is made within the framework of the economic data of the state and the difficult conditions prevailing to be satisfied to the maximum extent possible. The Government is working on solutions to your basic requests concerning student sponsorship, the allowance for mothers with many children and the granting of a lump sum to mothers with many children.
Mothers with many children,
We owe you a great deal and on behalf of the State I thank you from the bottom of my heart, once again, for your invaluable contribution to your country and society in general!
I wish you to always walk with optimism and hope on the path of duty and happiness.
