An event condemning the treason and honouring the heroes of the Resistance was held today, on the grim anniversary of the Coup, co-organised by the Municipality of Geroskipou and the Fighters of the Resistance Association.

The event, which took place at the Monument of Democracy and Resistance 1974 in Geroskipou, next to the former KEN, began at 8:20 a.m., the hour the Coup was launched, with the sounding of sirens.

The programme included a memorial service led by the Very Reverend Archimandrite Odysseas Aspromallis, addresses by the Mayor of Geroskipou Nikos Palios and the Deputy Mayor of Geroskipou Andreas Siikkis, the recitation of a poem by Dinos Charalambous in memory of the heroes of the Resistance, and a brief address by the President of the Fighters of the Resistance Association, Leontios Filippou.

The event concluded with the laying of wreaths.
