According to a relevant announcement, in his greeting, President Anastasiadis said that economic developments are rapid, especially when credibility and confidence begin to erode and the recession may follow a geometrically negative spiral effect.
"The second lesson is that promoting structural reforms pays off even in the short term." In Cyprus, he added, it was the loss of confidence that caused the vortex of events. "Action and real reforms are needed to restore credibility and trust. "It takes determination, consistency and stubbornness," he said.
In what he believed in the first days of the crisis or the tragedy that followed the crisis was the "Cypriot ginati", he noted, commenting on a previous report by a speaker.
"We have every reason to be optimistic about the future. I would not like to dwell on the economic and social measures, the major reforms we have embarked on. "I hope they are understood and that they benefit the whole," he said.
He wanted - as he said - to point out that the fact that we are in the middle of a critical, perhaps difficult but also hopeful process of resolving the Cyprus problem is an element of optimism.
"If we manage to successfully complete the negotiation process, and succeed in resolving the Cyprus issue, I have no doubt that our future in this place will be auspicious and we will be able to ensure the peaceful coexistence and prosperity of all the people. our Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots ", he noted.
And it is in this effort that we politicians should copy the gifted artists, such as Christodoulos Panagiotou, to turn our vision into a creation that will cause admiration, but also the praise of those who will be lucky enough to they experience, he added.
President Anastasiadis said that politicians rarely talk about the visual arts because it is an area "with which, as a rule, most of us have little connection. Maybe we are afraid to face artists because they speak in a different way. With their works, sometimes parabolic, sometimes with exaggeration, surrealism or even harsh realism. We are used to saying that we deal with everyday life, we are practical people or politicians, we want to say that we solve;
But what unites us, he said, is a crucial, common point, "Both we politicians and artists have an obligation: To contribute to the development of a society, a world, with critically minded citizens. Everyone in their own way and with their own means. We with our laws and our interventions and the visual artists with the sharpening of the senses and the search for the messages below the obvious ".
He spoke about "the heavy biographical note" of Christodoulos Panagiotou who has achieved distinctions with his art in a cosmopolitan way, which can make art in Brazil, but with references from historical archives of Cyprus. "And the great thing is that he manages to gain interest wherever he exhibits his works."
He thanked both the award-winning visual artist and the Nemitsa Foundation, the couple Takis and Loukis Nemitsas, the Academic Council, the Secretary and the Coordinator of the Foundation and the other committees for their invaluable contribution.
