Minister Andreas Lykourentzos, gave a warm welcome to the pupils from
Greece, Cyprus and Hellenism from all over the world who will be

acquainted with Parliamentary procedures, wishing them all the best in
their lives.
The Parliament president said that the pupils will be handling a unique

visions and their anxieties.
He also explained to them that ministers, deputy ministers and ministry
secretary generals will be appearing at the meetings of committees to
reply to questions raised by the youth deputies.
