Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis – and the Helsinki Spirit
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus Dr. Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis has a personal and warm relationship with Finland. When moving to Finland with her husband in January 1975 as young students, Marcoullis and her husband were two of the few Cypriots in Finland. They also had a unique chance to meet the then President of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, who arrived to Helsinki to attend the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (now OSCE) Summit in July 1975. This remains very vividly in the memory of Marcoullis, as she now supports strongly the initiative of President Sauli Niinistö on bringing back the Helsinki Spirit to the international cooperation agenda.
