Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos spoke of Greece as “the force working for peace and growth, both in the Balkans and Southeast Europe, as well as in the wider European Union,” during a ceremonial event held on Saturday at the village of Katarraktis, which rendered him an honorary citizen of Central Tzoumerka, a municipality in the Arta regional unit at Epirus in northern Greece, ANA reports.
Nazi Germany’s occupation forces had executed several atrocities near Katarraktis when they took over the entire region of Epirus from Italy in 1943, where they performed large-scale anti-partisan sweeps against active Greek resistance forces.
