Karousos' Reaction – 'Evagoras Never Comes Down. History is Not Censored'

The President of the Ammochostos Refugee Return Organisation, Yannis Karousos, reacted to UEFA's request to remove the Evagoras Pallikarides banner during the Paphos vs Chelsea match. Mr. Karousos emphasized that Evagoras Pallikarides is a symbol of freedom and history cannot be censored. He considered UEFA's request unprecedented, as it concerns a symbol identified with the history and identity of Paphos FC.
