Also, the writer Chrysostomos Pericles has testified the experience he gained from his co -honor with the honor. The honored, Takis Hatzidimitriou, attributed his achievements to cooperation, saying he was particularly pleased with the presence of many Turkish Cypriot collaborators and friends, who, as he said, gave “fullness and justification”. He also said that “we have an obligation and responsibility to bring to the place democracy, mutual respect and peace.”
AKEL’s Secretary General in the speech recorded the morality and patriotism of Takis Hatzidimitriou, adding that the honorable person undoubtedly loved Cyprus, fought for his homeland, with all his might without any personal profit.
“We honor Takis Hatzidimitriou who, along with other greats of his generation, envisioned another Cyprus, creative, pioneer, democratic, progressive and bet in this vision of their youth, their lives as a whole,” he added.
Subsequently, Mr. Stefanou, after turning a look back at Mr. Chatzidimitriou’s action in the scientific, cultural and political life of the place, his parliamentary presence, focused on his recruitment “on the titanic attempt to resolve the Cyprus problem and to reunite our place,”
Takis Hatzidimitriou was and remains and remains a tireless voice of sober and dynamism all these years, a pen of realism and a vision that records what we claimed, what we have conquered, what we lost, above all, what we could do to build us, Hadjidimitriou has “became a symbolic personality of the common struggle of the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a solution, to reunite our country within the bi -zonal, bi -communal federation with political equality.”
Mr Akindzi, focusing on Mr Hadjidimitriou’s contribution, on the efforts of the Cyprus problem, said in a message to the event, that “we have always known him with an identity in favor of the solution, in favor of peace”.
He said that Takis Hatzidimitriou in his books refers to historical mistakes, being a personality who did not hesitate to underline errors, adding that “even when he had a leading post he did not hesitate to emphasize these mistakes”.
At a joint event with him in Agros in November we had the opportunity to address Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots, from all the political colors of Cyprus. Of course, he made me happy to see his pacifist identity and his faith again, he pointed out.
Mr Akinji also said that when he was the leader of the Turkish Cypriots, Takis Hadjidimitriou as a co -chair of the Cultural Heritage Committee, along with Ali Tundzai, put their signatures on very important works, something that only someone who loves Cyprus can do.
Further stating that he worked hard to preserve the cultural and architectural heritage of various cultures in Cyprus for many years, Mr. Akinji added that Takis Hatzidimitriou is a valuable Cypriot worth honoring.
For his part, Mr. Pericles was in the public position of Mr Hadjidimitriou in favor of the Annan plan, taking responsibility and resigning from the Coordinator with the EU, to which the then President of the Republic Tassos Papadopoulos had appointed, as he said.
Ellitizing the position that the immediate clear positioning on critical national issues and the taking of responsibility is a virtue that has led to our political leaders all over the journey of the Republic of Cyprus, he said that as a curator in all Takis Hatzidimitriou’s books, he holds him as a rare.
He added that an important element in the personality of the honored is the spiritual composition and that in Takis Hatzidimitriou he saw the visionary militant, dreamer, Don Quixote and himself Sanchos.
In his contradiction, Mr. Hadjidimitriou stated that “at this critical time of our home country, it is debt due to consider, judge what has happened, but also to count the future, which we have not dare to do so far.”
He added that “we know that this will not be done in itself, nor will it come as a donation”, adding that “creative life requires critical and self -criticism”, challenging myths, structures, dogmas, and recognition of errors, so that we can seek a new path, a new course.
He also expressed the view that between a strategy of friendship and rivalry we only have to choose the strategy of friendship, cooperation and common interests and to consolidate the multinational and multicultural Cyprus as a common value.
Mr Hadjidimitriou, concluding the message that would be sent from the event organized to be honored to be that for the future of Cyprus and “to make sense of all of us, we have an obligation and responsibility to bring to the place democracy, mutual respect and respect”.
