An Evzone, wearing the traditional honor guard uniform, salutes President Karolos Papoulias during a ceremony yesterday outside Ioannina Cathedral, in northwestern Greece. Papoulias, visiting his hometown to mark the 94th anniversary of Ioannina’s liberation from Turkish occupation, stressed the importance of Greek youngsters learning about their country’s history. ‘Knowledge of history is necessary for national self-knowledge and for our nation to plan for its future,’ Papoulias said.
