The deputy Mayor of Culture, Youth and Sport mr East Konstantinidou welcomed the world who responded to the invitation and mentioned “The poetry liberates the man, gives him the ability to express himself through lyrics that show the depth of human existence with thinking and feeling. Poetry means creation, and we should be particularly proud that in our country are born great poets, so that we have such a rich cultural heritage. Without poetry in our everyday life we lose contact with ourselves.”
