Nicosia: The Republic of Cyprus remains our strongest negotiating tool on the path to justice, peace, and reunification of our country, the Presidency of the Republic stated in a post on platform X. This declaration coincides with the April 1st anniversary, which commemorates the commencement of the EOKA anti-colonial struggle in 1955.
According to Cyprus News Agency, 70 years have passed since the start of the EOKA liberation struggle, described as “the purest struggle of Cypriot Hellenism, the most important and most decisive page of the modern history of our country.” The EOKA fighters’ struggle and sacrifice continue to inspire future generations, serving as a guiding light for the pursuit of freedom, democracy, justice, and prosperity.
“Seventy years on, we pay tribute to those who fought for freedom, recognising that nothing is achieved without struggle, faith, and sacrifice,” the post emphasized. It concluded by asserting that the Republic of Cyprus, as the most significant achievement of that struggle, continues to be the strongest negotiating tool towards achieving justice, peace, and the reunification of the country.
