The pain of destruction has become a spark of creation, President of the Greek parliament Konstantinos Tasoulas said on Monday, at the opening of the exhibition ‘Cyprus, 1974. Memory is the only homeland of the people’, in Athens.
The exhibition is co-organised by the Hellenic Parliament Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy and the House of Representatives of the Republic of Cyprus.
House President Annita Demetriou said the struggle for peace, liberation and reunification for an indivisible homeland continued, adding that the message of the exhibition was that “we do not forget, we fight”.
Demetriou outlined the prerequisites for a solution of the Cyprus problem, on the basis of a bizonal bicommunal federation with political equality.
Tasoulas said the exhibition presented both the trauma of the invasion and the miracle of recovery, adding that the pain of destruction has become a spark of creation.
