Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas, speaking after the religious service held on the anniversary of the starting of the Cypriot liberation struggle in 1955 against British colonial rule, said "the struggle and the sacrifices of the Cypriot people inspire us."
Droutsas linked "the continuing struggle of the Republic of Cyprus for survival and for vindication" with the "struggle of the Greek people for a future of pride and prosperity."
