Amid the pandemic and observing all security measures, the recruits – according to the announcement of the Ministry of Defence – arrived for their classification which commenced today July 19th and ends on July 26, 2021 at the Training Centers of Paphos, Larnaca, Limassol and at Camp “Ch.

Panagiotis Kyriakou, who lives in Timi, stressed that he feels joy and is deeply moved today, as he said, while the new recruit Nikolas Karatsilias, who arrived at the Anarita Training Center this morning, said that he will serve in the Special Forces since, as he explained, it is a tradition in his family.

Finally, Andreas Nikolaou said that he came to perform his duty towards the homeland with great responsibility and great emotion. The conscripts who were called to arrive for their classification at a specific time were presented in their military uniform they had received, all of them holding their safe pass, according to the current decrees of the Ministry of Health. 

The Ministry of Defence also noted that, in order to avoid any inconvenience, the new recruits should not come by their own vehicles, since at the end of their classification, they will be transferred to their units by National Guard vehicles.
