“The left a strong impression on the modern political history of our country,” the message of condolences on the death of the former Prime Minister stressed. As former Prime Minister and President of SYRIZA said, Alexis Tsipras Kostas Simitis “is entitled to respect as a political opponent, but also to the recognition that as a leader he made critical decisions that determined the course of modern Greece. CORVERSE He associated his name with his own vision of modernisation that determined both the economic evolution of the country and the personality of its political system. In particular, with his decision to enter the euro area, which had significant benefits and serious economic consequences, later. A significant deposit to our foreign policy also leaves Cyprus with EU membership, as well as the start of the European perspective of the Western Balkans with the Thessaloniki agenda. I express my sincere condolences to his family and relatives.”
