Mr. President,

We had the honor of participating in the moving ceremony and wreath-laying ceremony commemorating another anniversary of the Battle of Salamis in Athens. The event, which takes place every year in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located next to the Hellenic Parliament, was attended by political leaders and parliamentarians, ambassadors, and various figures from Hellenic society. With the laying of our laurel wreath, we once again pay tribute to the Greek people, their patriotic traditions, and their history of struggle.
