Nikos Appelaios II accused a woman of returning with "fake patriotism" and accused her of distorting her statements. He wrote that she had expressed dissatisfaction with the National Anthem of the Greeks and had called for the liberation of Cyprus from all foreign powers, naming Turkey and Greece. According to him, she had also questioned the interest of Turkey, Greece, and the guarantor powers in Cyprus and had requested that propaganda for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots be removed from school textbooks. Appelaios claimed that her positions referred to Turkish positions and did not defend history and national rights. He criticized her for speaking about the Bizonal Bicommunal Federation and the heroes of EOKA, while, as he wrote, she had insulted their struggle and memory. He called her disrespectful, ungrateful, historically ignorant, and shameless. #Ελλάδα #Κύπρος #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (translated)
