The establishment of the Republic of Cyprus 66 years ago, the result of the timeless struggles of our people, which culminated in the national liberation and anti-colonial struggle of EOKA, was and remains the most significant change in the long history of our country. The Republic of Cyprus is our most important achievement. Respecting and protecting it, continuously upgrading its status, and strengthening all its power factors, both domestically and internationally, are our highest priorities. (translated)
