[03] Kaklamanis sends message on occasion of March 25 national anniversary

Parliament President Apostolos Kaklamanis, in a message on Sunday on on the occasion of the March 25 national anniversary marking the 1821 revolution against Ottoman rule, said that this year's anniversary coincided ''with one of the darkest hours of humanity.''

Kaklamanis said ''the United States and the newly-established 'Iberian-atlantic alliance' is uprooting international legal order, its institutions and its rules, replacing them with the interests of 'new Rome' and the means it uses for their imposition.''

He said ''the Greek people, along with the peoples of Europe are participating in the world peace movement and condemns the neutralisation of the United Nations and the undermining of the European structure.''

The parliament president, on the occasion of the national anniversary, turned his thoughts to ''our brothers in Cyprus who along the Turkish Cypriot community are struggling for the liberation of their homeland from the Turkish military occupation which is continuing for nearly three decades with the tolerance of the U.S.''

''Cyprus' accession to the European Union, the reconciliation of the two communities, their common resistance to Ankara's plans and that of (Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf) Denktash and the prospects of a new social and economic reality in the EU, is certain that will lead slowly but surely to the reunification of the suffering island and to a peaceful future for the whole of the Cypriot people,'' Kaklamanis concluded.
