The poet&#8217;s voice distant. The exploits of our soldiers at Argyrokastro and \u00a0at Korytsa were forgotten. The grandfathers, who told us about them, are no longer with us. The figures of the women of Pindos come to our memory as if from a fairy tale. Today we commemorate the anniversary by honouring our Greek conscience and our heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Today we honor our Greek conscience, by expelling the enemies that have nested within it. The enemies are not limited today only to just another state. The enemies begin in our minds and souls. Enemies to PEACE, to FREEDOM as Internal states of the Greek, are ignorance and fear. The NO, relevant like never before, is requirement in order to free ourselves primarily from our ignorance and fear. Inspired today by the anniversary, we recall our Greek conscience and we observe its enemies. We shout, NO to ignorance! NO to fear!<\/p>\n<p>WITH VIRTUE,<br \/>\nMARIA TERZAKI<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f6363542ea07756{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f6363542ea07756{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f6363542ea07756{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f6363542ea07756{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f6363542f1e {margin-top: 40px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f6363542f1e\" class=\"gem-divider\" style=\"\" ><\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1673364562151 thegem-vc-text thegem-custom-69f636354307f9775\"  >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* The full or partial reproduction of this text by electronic, photocopying or any other way is prohibited, without the written permission of the author Maria Terzaki..<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f636354307f9775{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f636354307f9775{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f636354307f9775{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f636354307f9775{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Onward! with upright mesuranian, the torch of Freedom,<br \/>\nyou are paving the way Greece, for Human!
