I wish you good luck in view of the elections, but above all I want to keep this excellent climate that exists, I would say, not only between the governments, between the institutions, between our peoples, because I believe that these very strong ties between Greece and Cyprus have become even stronger in recent months,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed_media\" data-emebed-provider=\"YouTube\">\n<div class=\"dp-youtube-video dp-embed-video\" data-embed=\"9vZY0z-iW4Q\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9vZY0z-iW4Q?feature=oembed\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Anita Demetriou: Unparalleled support for Greece<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This is true, my friend Prime Minister. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Cypriot people, because Greece&#8217;s support, its response, especially in this ordeal, was of unparalleled importance and essential, if you like, importance, precisely for this common response, for the pillars of stability that are Greece and Cyprus, for what is happening in our region and within Europe,&#8221; Anita Demetriou said.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/tomanifesto\/images\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"26-05-12-0012-dpc0769.jpg\" data-dpc-media-id=\"188009\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/image\/large\/95\/26-05-12-0012-dpc0769.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;I am happy to say that I see an upgraded Greece, with a leading role, and this is of course also due to you personally. I say it, I mean it and I will say it: it is very important precisely to maintain this proud course. This is the message that I am conveying today.<\/p>\n<p>And we want to keep this stability and responsibility, especially in view of the upcoming elections, as the apple of our eye. We just want to continue with the same strategy. It&#8217;s a better relationship than it&#8217;s ever been, and we need to keep that and emphasize that, and together we need to look at how we&#8217;re going to deal with all of these challenges. We know that there are a lot of unresolved issues, complex issues. It is not with toxicity, it is not with populism, it is with responsibility, actions, results, and that is the message we want to convey today,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;\/html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyriakos Mitsotakis met today (12\/05) with the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Cyprus and President of the House of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
