Christodoulides and Erhurman Send Message of Peace at Pyla Festival

President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman attended the annual bicommunal festival in Pyla, declaring a message of peace and coexistence. Christodoulides emphasized the need for reunification, stating that it is the only option for the homeland.
