In spirit of unity all Hellenes around the world will celebrate again March 25th, the day that is marked as the symbol of our National renaissance. This day is bonded with the visions of Hellenes for Independence, Freedom and Democracy, principles that were brought forward by the heroes of the Revolution of 1821 and Hellenes of the Diaspora through their struggles and sacrifices. The Revolution of Hellenes in 1821 was the example and the expression for all repressed people around the world and will be remembered as a glorious moment in world history. In our times of free borders and great challenges we Hellenes have every reason to be proud of our inheritance and it is our duty to promote it around the world. Our culture, traditions and humanistic values continue to inspire Hellenes and Philhellenes around the world. We, Hellenes of the world are proud that we are able to contribute to the creation of good relations between our Homeland and the countries where we live. We look towards the future with great hope knowing that only through unity we will reach our goals. At such times we do not forget our fellow Hellenes who need our support and we stand by them with all our hearts. This is the goal of the World Council of Hellenes that was created with the consent of all political parties. United we can and we should promote our National Issues, Orthodoxy, Education and Culture and pass our wisdom and work to the next generations.
