As Mr. Christodoulides, President of the Republic of Cyprus, stated, these are Greek soldiers who, during the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the Turkish incursions of 1963-64, “came from Greece to reinforce the defense of our island, to ensure the sovereignty and independence of our homeland, to counter Attila’s hordes, to unite with their brothers in Cyprus, as in any other common national imperative in history.”
