“The eventful life of former king Constantine marked and was marked by turbulent moments in the country’s modern history,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a statement on Wednesday.
“(Marked) by wounds which were healed by the choices, the free conscience and the maturity of the Greek people. Also by his discreet stance during the post-junta period,” he added.
“His passing is, on a human level, the formal epilogue to a chapter that was closed with the 1974 referendum,” he said adding that “from now on, it is up to history to judge.”
Mitsotakis also extended his sincere condolences to the family of the former king.
