At a quarter past eight, Kyriakos Mitsotakis arrived at the Presidential Palace of Cyprus accompanied by his wife. Nikos Christodoulidis welcomed him at the entrance of the Presidential Palace and showed him around the “Threads” exhibition, which symbolizes the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion.
“I am here today deeply moved, representing every Greek man and woman everywhere in the world to repeat before you two words that have sealed our lives. I don’t forget.
Let the lessons of yesterday become the priorities of today.
A day not only of suffering but also a starting point of new momentum for our national claims. We return to those moments that Cyprus and Greece paid.
This island stood up, Nicosia kept alive the request for the reunification of the country.
Our position is clear. Republic of Cyprus in a single state.
Cyprus and Greece we are more united than ever. We reject the anachronistic Dogma.
There is no other way than the one shared by the UN Secretary General as I found out a few days ago. The way is to restart the conversations. After all, only those who have no arguments avoid dialogue. I am referring to a direction that Europe cannot be absent from.
Greece and Cyprus continue our joint effort, having as a vehicle our fraternal ties, our presence in the EU and international forums and the coordination of our actions. With the President having the first word but we are on your side.
I will close with one commitment. Hellenism will not stop fighting until Cyprus is reunited. Until the wounds are healed and stability and peace return to the mega island and the wider region. Memory may hurt wherever you touch it, as Seferis wrote, but he was sure that in Cyprus the miracle still works.
