"The need for international law is always up to date," Pavlopoulos added, pointing out that anyone who believes that through power will prevail without respecting international law and its ethics will sooner or later be defeated. "Greece cannot think of its future outside the European Union, having definitively and irrevocably decided that its course is only within the hard core of the EU and the eurozone; so the Family of European Peoples would never be complete and worthy of its name and its cultural heritage without Greece, as a permanent and integral member," Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos said on Sunday during his speech at the ceremony for his proclamation as an Honorable Citizen of Milos. Pavlopoulos also pointed out that "the history of Milos documents, in an unprecedented way, the multi-year connection of the ancient Greek culture with Christianity in our country, constituting a strong proof of Greece's undeniable European identity."

[02] ANA and Environmental Awareness Park Antonis Tritsis sign memorandum of cooperation A memorandum of cooperation was signed on Sunday between the Athens Macedonian News Agency (ANA) and the Environmental Awareness Park Antonis Tritsis in an effort to promote one of the most beautiful green spots in Athens. "The aim of the Athens Macedonian News Agency is to come closer to the society and demonstrate its anxieties, its hopes and its demands," its president Michalis Psilos said and added: "In this context, we signed an agreement with the management of the park in order to promote its activities in Greece and abroad. Our aim is to show that this park, the only green spot in the western Attica, can become a centre of culture for the entire Attica region." On his part, Ioannis Polyzos, who is responsible for the management of the park, said: "We will try to restore the park in order to render it a pilot area of environmental awareness and set an example for other parks to follow. I also thank the volunteers and the local community for their help and contribution which was priceless. Good ideas are not enough. Volunteerism is necessary."
