The President of the Republic Mr.Nikos Christodoulides, completing his two-day working visit to Germany, visited the Holocaust Memorial in the afternoon.
The President of the Republic toured the exterior and interior of the Memorial dedicated to the murdered Jews of Europe and laid a wreath.
He also signed the Memorial's visitors' book in which he wrote the following: "I visited today, as part of my visit to Berlin, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a place of remembrance and tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
It is our duty to remember, but paying tribute is not only about the past, but also about the present and the future. 'Never Again' is about our collective historical responsibility to Humanity."
Moreover, in his remarks to journalists during his presence at the Memorial, the President of the Republic said "It is important to highlight the importance of such tragic events, simply so that they are never repeated. Apart from honouring the memory of all those people who sacrificed their lives, the most important thing is that we as humanity do not allow them to happen again. And unfortunately, in the international environment in which we live today - and unfortunately in our own country in 1974 - and more generally thereafter, we see such tragic developments being repeated. That is why we have an obligation as humanity not to allow them to happen again. "
The President of the Republic is accompanied in Germany by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Konstantinos Kombos, the Government Spokesman, Mr Konstantinos Letibiotis, the Director of the President's Diplomatic Office, Ms Marilena Raouna, and officials.
