The UNESCO decision recognizing February 9 as World Day of Greek, the Prime Minister is reported Kyriakos Mitsotakis by posting on social networks.
Specifically, Mr. Mitsotakis states:
“The Greeks and the Greeks, wherever they are, are gladly welcoming the establishment of 9 February as” World Day of Greek Language “by UNESCO. Thus, the whole world will honor, every year, the vehicle with which the values of the country that gave birth to democracy have been traveling over the centuries and founded philosophy and sciences.
This is, without a doubt, a success of our cultural diplomacy. A proof of the international resonance that Homer’s language always has. Of Byzantine scholars. Of Makrigiannis. And Seferis. As well as an annual opportunity to see its creative continuity through the conquests of modern Greece.
The joint decision of 88 states to choose as a point of reference and honor on the day of our national poet’s death also makes us double proud. Not only because it recognizes the identification of our language with the historical course of the nation. But also why she denotes her universal human load. So that all the citizens of the world can keep Odysseus Elytis in thought: “My language was given Greek”.
