[01] FM issues message on World Refugee Day
Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis issued a message on Tuesday on the
occasion of World Refugee Day, saying that this year's World Refugee
Day is dedicated to the hope of millions of refugees and displaced
populations for a better tomorrow, in their country or in a new
homeland.
"It is our duty not to allow this hope to be extinguished," she said.
The foreign minister added that "in the hail of images and information
characterising communication in the modern-day globalised environment
the feeling we get moves very often between two extremes."
"Sometimes we believe that the 'problem' lies exclusively at the door
and our neighbourhood and sometimes the extreme opposite. That, in
other words, it is a reality which is far away and must primarily
preoccupy others. The truth lies somewhere in the middle," she said.
