In a message on Twitter Friday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis paid tribute to Thanos Axarlian, a 20-year-old student killed during a botched assassination attempt by the now defunct November 17 terrorist group on July 14, 1992.
Axarlian was killed during a rocket attack against then economy minister Yiannis Paleokrassas.
“[It has been] 31 years since the murder of Thanos Axarlian. It is our duty to always remember; and our democratic responsibility to persist in the ongoing fight against terrorism,” Mitsotakis wrote.
