With placards inscribed with slogans such as “Attila out of Cyprus 1983”, “Cyprus – Polytechnic never again fascism” and peace in Cyprus cannot be hindered the students protested the declaration of the pseudo-state, declaring that the voice of the new generation, the voice of the Cypriot people sends a resounding message that “Cyprus belongs to its people”
PSEM's representative in Paphos and provincial coordinator, Dimitris Kanaris, stated that 39 whole years have passed since that shameful decision of November 15 by Dektas and the pseudo-parliament to declare the occupied areas “tdvc”. Today's day is a “slap” and a “knife that scrapes the wound” of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, and especially of refugees, he continued. we will comfort the dead with laurel wreaths.
Turkey, he continued, is mouthing threats against Greece and Cyprus violating every rule of international law, every convention trampling on human dignity. A practical example, he said, is the exploitation of refugees at the Evros border and the fraudulent influx of migrants into the Aegean.
We came out to demonstrate, to show our anger, our despair, our indignation, the injustice we have experienced in recent years and to shout so loudly, that we do not forget, so that it is heard from Paphos to Nicosia and from Nicosia to Ankara, he said.
