    Λευκωσία, 02/08/1998 (MΠΕ-CNA) "Δεν είμαστε φιλοπόλεμοι, αλλά λαός φιλειρηνικός που αγαπά όμως με πάθος την ελευθερία του και είναι έτοιμος να προστατέψει με κάθε μέσο την εθνική και ανθρώπινη αξιοπρέπειά του".

    Αυτό τονίζεται μεταξύ άλλων, στον χαιρετισμό του προέδρου της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, Γλαύκου Κληρίδη, που ανέγνωσε ο υπουργός Γεωργίας, Κώστας Θεμιστοκλέους, στο στρατόπεδο Μάρκου Δράκου, όπου τελέστη τρισάγιο για τους νεκρούς και δέηση για τους αγνοούμενους του 256ου Τάγματος Πεζικού.

    Στον χαιρετισμό του κ. Κληρίδη επισημαίνεται ότι η δράση του 256ου Τάγματος Πεζικού αποτελεί παράδειγμα προς μίμηση, σημειώνοντας ακόμη ότι αυτή η στρατιωτική μονάδα κατέχει ξεχωριστή θέση στην ιστορία της αντίστασης του κυπριακού ελληνισμού κατά την τουρκική εισβολή.

    Ακόμη γίνεται ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στην ενίσχυση της άμυνας της Κύπρου, "ώστε αν επιτεθεί ξανά ο Αττίλας να μην βρει μπροστά του την κατάσταση που υπήρχε το 1974. Θα είμαστε αποτελεσματικοί, ιδιαίτερα με την εφαρμογή του ενιαίου αμυντικού δόγματος Κύπρου - Ελλάδας".
