Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias' statement on the occasion of the celebration of 25 March, Greek Independence Day (Nicosia, 25 March 2017)

"This is my second time at a student parade in Cyprus. For the second time, I am moved. I have said before that Cyprus represents emotion, love, hope. It is a golden-green leaf cast upon the sea. We all need to protect, support and embrace the people of Cyprus, and solve together the problems that exist.

Thank you, and many returns of the day."
