The prayer was performed by the Most Reverend Metropolitan Artis, Mr. Kallinikos, in the place where the general's bones are kept, paying tribute to his sacrifice, bravery and timeless contribution to the Struggle for Freedom.

الصلاة في سكوليكاريا حيث محفوظة عظام الجنرال كاريسكاكيس دائماً تذكرني بأهمية الاحتفاظ بالتاريخ الحي. السنة الجاية ٢٠٢٦ رح أحاول أروح مع عائلتي نشارك في الذكرى، خاصة إن ابني اللي في الجامعة يدرس تاريخ الثورة.
