In his acceptance speech, John Calamos said: “I am honored to receive an award from Capital Link, an organization that has played a key role in the improvement of Greece’s image on an international business and investment level. My love and devotion to Greece comes from my personal experiences, from my heart. Being the son of a Greek immigrant in the USA, I attribute a large part of my success to the values my parents taught me as well as the teachings of Greek philosophers. Greek people have a long and glorious history in terms of creation, innovation and determination. Under the Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras’, leadership, the country will get back on track. The indications as well as the perspectives are encouraging.”
