The inauguration was performed by the Deputy Minister of National Defence, Alkiviadis Stephanis, in the presence of the President of the War Museum, Anastasios Liaskos and the Director General of Operations of the “Eleftherios Venizelos” International Airport, Alexandros Aravanis.
In a statement, the Deputy Minister of National Defence said the following:
“2021 is undoubtedly a year of hope and perspective for the Greece of the future. The 200th anniversary of the beginning of the National Revolt is a great opportunity to be inspired by our history, to evaluate our course, to envision the country’s future and to reassert our new, progressive, modern identity in Europe and the world.
The aim of the partnership between the War Museum and Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is to promote the Greek Revolution of 1821 to millions of visitors to the country, highlighting its historical importance., but also its international dimension, as a mosaic of global historical heritage. I would also like to say that as the Ministry of National Defence, together with the Minister, we have undertaken many actions for 2021, not only in Athens and Thessaloniki but almost all over Greece.
These actions are in coordination with the Commission “Greece 2021”. We talk very often with Mrs. Gianna Angelopoulou, we plan the actions and we are optimistic that the end of 2021 will find our country more optimistic and brighter.
Congratulations to the administrations of the War Museum and the Airport for the idea and its implementation through the synergy of the two institutions”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1614687717554{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”nivo” interval=”3″ images=”1994,2007,2006,2005,2004,2003,2002,2001,2000,1999,1998,1997,1996,1995″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
