Today, Friday 25 April 2025, the Deputy Minister of National Defence Thanasis Davakis attended the memorial service for the “ANZAC Day”, at the Phaleron War Cemetery”, as representative of the President of the Hellenic Government Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Mr Davakis, after the end of the memorial, stated the following:
“Today, I had the honour of attending, at the Phaleron War Cemetery, the memorial service for ANZAC Day, the day of honour and memory for the fallen Australians and New Zealanders, who sacrificed themselves in wars, battles and peace support missions.
ANZAC Day reminds us of the values our peoples share, and the fights we gave together for liberty, peace, human decency and Democracy.
The memory of the ANZAC sacrifice is not forgotten, it remains alive to teach us the significance of peaceful coexistence and constant vigilance against any threat”.
