ATHENS — In a post on Τwitter on Wednesday, President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou referred to the military coup of April 21, 1967, which led to a seven-year dictatorship in Greece.
"More than five decades after the black page of 21.4.67, we are proud of the conquests of our democracy. Greece is a modern state government by the rule of law, with guaranteed human rights and a smooth functioning of its institutions, even in the most difficult circumstances," Sakellaropoulou noted.
Πέντε και πλέον δεκαετίες από τη μελανή σελίδα της 21.4.67, είμαστε υπερήφανοι για τις κατακτήσεις της δημοκρατίας μας. Η Ελλάδα είναι ένα σύγχρονο κράτος δικαίου με κατοχυρωμένα τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα και με ομαλή λειτουργία των θεσμών, ακόμη και στις πιο δύσκολες περιστάσεις.
