The Head of Humanitarian Affairs of Missing and Internally Displaced Persons expressed her support to the farmers' organizations, noting that their initiatives, actions and suggestions are very important for the preservation of our tradition. She also stressed the need to support our interned and resettled people to stay in our occupied villages, as well as the need to provide incentives for resettlement. She explained that from the first moment she took office, she has been holding private meetings with the interned and resettled people to map their problems and needs, with the aim of managing and addressing them on the basis of the President's Governance Programme. "Agriculture," said Ms. Aristotelous, "is the main job of our interned and resettled people, so measures are being taken to support it."
Finally, the Head of State congratulated the representatives of the agricultural organisations for their continuous efforts to preserve our history and traditions, to strengthen the agricultural profession, as well as for their initiatives and actions.
