At noon on Tuesday, on the eve of the 114th Anniversary of the liberation of Chios from the Ottoman yoke, the great Greek Flag was raised in the port of Chios. The impressive size of the Greek Flag arrived at the southern jetty accompanied by a procession of students from the AEN Engineers of Chios to the accompaniment of the Municipal Philharmonic. Honors to the Flag were rendered by a military officer of the 96 ADTE of Chios.
