Thousands of people attended an anti-war concert in the center of Athens on Tuesday evening.
More than a dozen Greek singers and artists participated in the event organized by “Solidarity for All”, an umbrella group of peace organizations.
“We condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We demand an end to the war now. We know that when a war is won, life is lost,” the organizers said.
“Weapons must be silenced now. Bombings, nuclear threats, arms races have never been the solution. We must stand by the refugees and those in need!” it added.
A video screened before the start of the concert showed the devastation caused in Ukraine by the Russian invasion.
Among the artists participating in the concert were George Dalaras, Glykeria, Manolis Mitsias, Tania Tsanaklidou and Natassa Bofiliou.
Leader of the main opposition Alexis Tsipras was also present at the concert. Read More...
