26436 - The liberation of the Greek Zeolite
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
The decision was taken.
The Greek Zeolite, constitutes hereon an official and institutional reality, as the license agreement relating to the production of a zeolite quarry field was allocated.
Following years of national struggle, we are now experiencing the liberation of the Greek Zeolite from bureaucracy.
Now, the Greek Zeolite can accommodate Greece’s needs, while simultaneously providing savings in regards to foreign imports of zeolite, and in due time of course, to become an export product in order to provide even more benefits for Greece.
All those who believed that this miracle could occur even under the conditions that we experiencing during this period, are more and more, and we would like to thank them for all the help provided in the case of the Greek Zeolite, even on a personal level.
This national vision, finally now became a reality due to the faith of George Georgiades, who despite his age, was able to put across an example of battleship.
