He has a lot for his late father and his contribution to the Struggle of 55-59 “.
Mr. Kaouris even mentions through his post the close relationship that Afxentiou had with Andreas Mavrogiannis's father, Diomidis Mavrogiannis.
This is the post of the mayor of Occupied Solution:
ANDREAS MAVROGIANIS AND GRIGORIS AFXENTIOU
On July 20, 1956, an unknown priest arrives in Agros and, accompanied by a resident of the community, goes without delay to the house of Diomidis Mavrog , head of EOKA in the village who was expecting this visit with some precautions.
The wife of Diomedes, the humble, trustworthy and active member of EOKA, more widely in Pitsilia, was ready for the fifth child of the family.
With the arrival of the foreign priest & # 8221; she is in pain & # 8221; and her husband takes her to give birth, leaving the priest to write letters and open others.
Returning, Diomedes brought the news of the birth of Andreas' son to the priest who was none other than Grigoris Afxentiou.
The years passed and Andreas and I developed a stable and sincere friendship, which lasts for so many years.
Last night, going to Agros with my daughter Georgia and Anna Ioannidou for the really great event on the occasion of the release of the great book by Stelios Papantoniou & # 8221; The last Christmas of Afxentiou & # 8221; I was sure that I would meet my friend Andreas who always honors the fighting father and our history. I took with me the third volume of my book about Grigoris Afxentiou that was just released and I handed it to him with love and as a sign of memory and honor to his pure militant father, in whom Afxentiou had unlimited trust. He has a lot for his late father and his contribution to the Struggle of 55. He thanked me warmly.
If there is one thing that characterizes my friend Andreas is his anthropocentric character, prudence, humility, selflessness, knowledge & # 8211; especially in the Cyprus & # 8211; his perspicacity and deep love for his semi-occupied homeland, always aiming for a solution, in accordance with international law, UN resolutions and the European Union. And always in low tones, regardless of the fact that he carries on his shoulders parchments and recognition as a diplomat in the international arena, especially within the complex and difficult United Nations. Νάσαι καλά φίλε & # 8230;
