First Cypriot born on EU accession day 2004 joins anniversary celebrations

Cyprus was honored at a ceremony celebrating 20 years since acceding to the European Union. Kyriacos Yiallourides, the first Cypriot born on May 1, 2004, asked about Cypriots’ expectations during the road to accession. George Iacovou mentioned that Cypriots hoped for security and stability and that the younger generations were excited about opportunities to study, work, and live abroad.

Russia could potentially be prepared to launch an attack on NATO countries in five to eight years, according to Germany’s top military official, Lieutenant General Carsten Breuer.
