PM hails Macedonia’s ‘timeless Greek identity’
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis (third from left) stressed on Friday that the Palace of Aigai in northern Greece is testimony to the “timeless Greek identity of Macedonia through the ages.” Attending the inauguration of the recently restored Palace of Aigai, Mitsotakis noted the “great honor” he feels as prime minister to associate his name and that of his government with the emblematic restoration work at one of the country’s most important archaeological site. The city of Aigai (Vergina) was the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia and was upgraded with an extensive building program by Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.
