Είχα τη μεγάλη χαρά και τιμή να επισκεφθώ την ΤΠΚ «Δανιόλος» στο λιμάνι της Σύμης και να ανταλλάξω με τον Κυβερνήτη και το πλήρωμα ευχές για τα #Χριστούγεννα. pic.twitter.com/MjTHWZzkKy

Mr. Dendias exchanged Christmas wishes with the skipper and crew.
Finally, he said in his statements, "I want to clearly state my pride for the members of the Armed Forces of our country who guard our uninhabited islands, the borders of our country. Today, on Christmas Day, Greek society must wish their executives that they are always well."
Θέλω να δηλώσω ξεκάθαρα την υπερηφάνεια μου για τα στελέχη των Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων της Πατρίδας μας που φυλάσσουν τα ακριτικά μας νησιά, τις εσχατιές της πατρίδας μας. Σήμερα, ημέρα των Χριστουγέννων, η ελληνική κοινωνία οφείλει να ευχηθεί στα στελέχη τους να είναι πάντα καλά.… pic.twitter.com/bAPq1MR7uS
