Papoulias said that the tower renovation also honoured the Greek hero. "He [Rigas Ferraios] is [an] ideologist who gave his life for the vision of national independence of the Balkan peoples and of their brotherhood," the Greek president said, adding that the building's renovation had been accompanied by harmonious bilateral co-operation.
Papuljas je rekao da je renoviranjem kule takođe odata počast grčkom heroju. „On [Riga od Fere] je ideolog koji je dao svoj život za viziju nacionalne nezavisnosti balkanskih naroda i njihovog bratstva“, rekao je grčki predsednik, dodajući da je renoviranje zgrade bilo praćeno harmoničnim bilateralnom saradnjom.
