"The eternal bonds of brotherhood, that connect Cyprus with metropolitan Greece, are forged, are strengthened and renewed with the contribution of charismatic persons who through inspired creative initiatives, synergies and actions, they strengthen the indestructible bonds of Hellenism fed by our common language, common history, our common national and cultural roots and our common European present". I'm sorry, he stressed, κατ’ αρχάς, to the greeting addressed by the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Hieronymos at the event in honor of the ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus and rector of the Diplomatic Corps, Kyriakos Kenevezos, organized by the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation, last night.
in addition to, pointed out that Kyriakos Kenevezos contributed a lot to Greek and Cypriot culture. "In the perception of all of us", he said, the current ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus in Athens is not just the institutional representative of another country. It is the personification of these unbreakable ties we have with Megalonisos, a familiar place, an uncritical homeland of Hellenism, that moves through time, maintaining, in defiance of the geography of history and would-be conquerors, intact and unchanged its Greek identity.
And he added: "The honored Kyriakos Kenevezos with his overall contribution to Greek and Cypriot culture has strengthened these ties, performing important and nationally beneficial work, model and legacy for all those who find themselves in the future in this important position for Hellenism".
In addition, noted that in addition to his other institutional duties, his sensitivity to Education and Culture issues is known. "For this reason, καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της δημιουργικής θητείας του ανέπτυξε και διατηρεί στενές σχέσεις με τις ενεργές πνευματικές και καλλιτεχνικές δυνάμεις της Ελλάδας και της Κύπρου, having established itself as a bridge of direct communication and meaningful dialogue of the creators of our common culture".
In reference to the personality of the honoree, His Beatitude emphasized that this is a person who respects the institutions, without ever abusing his institutional position, which he serves with consistency and dedication, cultivating the eternal relationship of Greek and Cypriot Hellenism.
Finally, he stressed: "We wish and hope that he will continue his nationally valuable and necessary work for a long time, as Hellenism must be constantly alert in view of both national dangers and the global crisis that plagues humanity".
