The Annual National Memorial Service of the heroically deceased Giannaki Pappouli and Christakis Christou Pieris was held today, Sunday, August 4, at the Holy Temple of Panagia Ayia Napa.
The Memorial was presided over by the Most Venerable Metropolitan of Constantia / Famagusta Mr. Vassilios and the Memorial Speech was written by the Member of Parliament for DISY Famagusta Mr. Kyriakos Hatzigiannis and due to a problem with his vocal chords Mr. George A.
In his memorial speech, Mr. Hatzigiannis, after outlining the heroes and praising their sacrifice, stressed that the memorials of our heroes are an anthem in the history of Cyprus - it is the unquenchable flame of freedom, which illuminates the unequal struggle we are waging ". Every year, Mr. Hatzigiannis said these days, "our souls are blackened by seeing the crescent of occupation in our enslaved villages and cities waving provocatively."
Attila's celebrations added to provoke the feelings of Hellenism but also of every person who is inspired by freedom and looks forward to justice. "It provokes our dead heroes of the Turkish invasion and is a political challenge to the principles and values of the European Union, in whose family Turkey claims a place. "When a country celebrates the violation of international law and human rights, it cannot have a European orientation at the same time."
"It is time", underlined Mr. X "Giannis", "really honoring Christakis and Giannakis and all those who sacrificed and left without ever knowing how much they were wronged, to prove that we really want better days to dawn in this much tortured place "to put aside differences in order to achieve the coveted reconciliation, which is necessary to move forward."
"Let us learn from these struggles and mobilize, because we have a duty to give our children and grandchildren a Cyprus free from the mistakes of the past, a Cyprus of peace, cooperation, prosperity, and prosperity.
A Cyprus as dreamed and envisioned by those we remember today and those who gave their lives for it. We have a duty to continue, united and fearless, with prudence and responsibility, but also with faith and determination, our great course for the justification of our martyred people. This is what they demand of us. This is what the heroes and witnesses of our national struggles dictate to us. This is our debt to history "concluded the MP of DISY Famagusta.
This was followed by the laying of wreaths at the Monuments of the Heroes, the touch of the flame by the athletes of the Association "Periklis Dimitriou" and an artistic program by the Music Group with Theodoulos Papageorgiou on guitar and song, Elena Papageorgiou on santouri and song and Theofanos Theofanis violin.
