Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has described the Turkish invasion against Cyprus in the summer of 1974 as the biggest national tragedy in the modern Greek History.
In a message on the occasion of the completion of 39 years since Turkish troops invaded and since then occupy 37% of Cyprus’ territory, Samaras noted that the 20th of July is a day to outline the real dimension of the Cyprus problem, which is an issue of invasion and occupation.
Ιt is above all a day of remembrance of those who heroically lost their lives, those who were killed cold blooded, those who are missing”, he said, adding that the Turkish invasion “is the biggest national tragedy in modern Greek History”.
