CE Report quoting Agerpres

"This special event is emotional, through which we recall the unjust and undignified attack on freedom of conscience, which happened 75 years ago, through the ban by the communist regime of the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic. Being citizens of a country that fought to win its democracy, we have the duty of honor not to forget those who awakened the self-awareness of Transylvanian Romanians and on whose shoulders the arch of our national unity rose in 1918", stated Klaus Iohannis.
