Annita: Greece Has Been and Remains Our Strongest Ally

The President of the House of Representatives, Annita Demetriou, stressed that Greece is and remains Cyprus's strongest ally in every aspect of life. The statement was made during the presentation of the album “Like Her Own Child,” which documents the hospitality of Cypriot children in Greece after the Turkish invasion of 1974. The album is a gesture of gratitude from the refugee children to the families and institutions that hosted them selflessly. It presents photographs, testimonies, and documents that record the reception and care the children received in Greece. Ms. Demetriou mentioned that the album includes six sections covering the entire period of hospitality, from the initial initiative to the children's return to Cyprus. She pointed out that the material in the publication comes from various regions of Greece and includes archival material and testimonies. The President of the House of Representatives emphasized that the album does not aim to judge or draw conclusions, but to capture the experience of Cypriots who found themselves in Greece after the invasion, an experience intertwined with the common trauma of all.
