President Nicos Anstasiades said on Monday 24 June that he hoped history would judge former President of Cyprus Demetris Christofias fairly and in a positive light. A book of condolences was opened on Monday in the Presidential Palace for the former President who passed away last Friday at the age of 72.
Anastasiades told the press that he and former President recognized the importance of putting compassion and mutual respect above anything else. “We will be all judged by history and not by human sentiments”, he said and expressed hope that the former leader of the Left in Cyprus, former President of the House of Representatives and former President of the Republic will be judged fairly and in a positive light.
