The “Greece 2021” committee, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Greece’s declaration of the War of Independence from the Ottoman Turks, has already set up a mechanism for funding and sponsorships, chairperson Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki said on Wednesday, during a plenary session of the committee at a central Athens hotel, according to ANA.
She pointed out that there is an outstanding debt to celebrate the 1821 War of Independence, as the first centennial coincided with the first negative news from the Asia Minor campaign and political developments did not allow celebrations. For the bicentennial, therefore, the committee “will begin from the locations where the first fires of the revolution started burning – we will go to every city and village in Greece and in every part of the planet where Greece is celebrated.”
