President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou received on Thursday a group of Greek, Cypriot and Egyptian students from abroad, in the framework of the “NOSTOS” program of the tripartite cooperation Greece-Cyprus-Egypt, ANA reports. During her greeting, Sakellaropoulou underlined that “July has been a month of mourning and pain for Cyprus and Greece for 47 years” and added: “The Turkish invasion and occupation that divided the island is still a reality. But we reassure you that Greece will never abandon the struggle for Cyprus until the final vindication. Cyprus has become an independent Republic, with a brilliant course in the international community.”She also pointed out that “Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt share the same commitment to respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the states in the region. The stated goal of all three countries is to ensure peace and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. To this end, we cooperate both with each other and within the framework of international organizations.”Addressing the expatriate Greek students, she stressed that in their face, she first sees the innumerable young Greek men and women abroad, who keep the flame of the homeland in their hearts and souls, as well as all those who represent them worthily, participating in the effort to preserve the language, the customs and the traditions of Greece, which they never forget.
