We must invest in our defence and strategic alliances, House President, Annita Demetriou, said on Wednesday, following the military parade for Cyprus’ Independence Day, in Nicosia. She noted that this is a matter of national survival for Greek Cypriots.
Demetriou said that Cyprus’ ties with Greece are a foundation of stability and cannot be shuddered.
She welcomed the presence of the President of the Hellenic Parliament, Nikitas Kaklamanis, at the parade, saying that it sends her own essential political message.
Demetriou also said that our independence was earned through hard work and sacrifice. She warmly congratulated the participants in the parade, saying that today’s military parade fills us with national pride.
