Pyla Community Leader Simos Mitidis stated on the Alpha News program that the Festival was held for the fifth and last time in 2019, but its activities were suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As he explained, he had extended invitations to Mr. Christodoulides and Mr. Erchiurman to attend, which they accepted. The goal, he said, is to send a message of peace and cooperation between the two communities
