We came here today at the "National Association of the Mavrommatis of Saint Pavlos" to celebrate the 60 years of life and contribution of this historic Association, which has been committed to preserving the indissoluble values and ideals of Hellenism in our land. At the same time, we gathered to honor the national anniversaries of the Greek Revolution of 1821 and April 1, 1955, which were a milestone in the history of modern and contemporary Hellenism.
Every year, on these days, we are called upon to stand with respect before our history, celebrating two of our most important national anniversaries and to draw the messages that history itself signs as the eternal legacy of Hellenism.
At the same time, we pay the minimum tribute to all those who have honoured the homeland with their blood. To all those people, known and unknown, who, overcoming the limits of reason, with their self-denial and courage, achieved what seemed impossible. The freedom of Greece and Cyprus.
Greeks,
The sacrifices of the heroes of 1821 and 1955 and the sacrifices and tears of the generation of 1974 point to the duty and debt that we all bear today. The solution of the Cyprus problem and the reunification of our homeland was and remains our ultimate national goal.
This is our historical responsibility. This is our unpaid debt and our debt to all the heroes who gave their lives for freedom. We owe it to our history, we owe it to our heroes,
"we owe it to those who have come, passed, will come, will pass. We will be judged by the unborn, the dead."
Thank you.
