"We won the FIA Middle East Rally Championship for the first time. For me, the result is a great victory because the race here in Cyprus is difficult. You cannot close your eyes for a moment; you're always on alert. Only in the last special stage did we take it more relaxed and enjoyed it. We didn't push hard, but the most important thing is that we won the title."

"We won again this year the Cyprus Rally, one of the toughest in the Middle East Championship and in the world. We are happy. I want to thank the organizers and everyone who worked for this. I am always happy here in Cyprus."

"Our goal from the beginning was to finish on the podium as high as possible. We tried to avoid problems, and we succeeded. We achieved second place, the best result. The race was very tough. Now we look forward to the future."

"It was a very difficult and tough race. Even with some problems, we managed to finish. Sixth place overall and first in our category. Everything went well."

"In the last special stages, we had nothing to chase. We drove carefully and aimed to finish while enjoying the stages. The race was very tough, and the special stages were in bad condition. It wasn’t the result we wanted."

"First of all, I want to thank the organizers; we had a great time at this year's Rally, although the special stages were a bit tough. We are happy with the position we achieved. I want to thank my co-driver Giorgos Pougioukkas and my mechanic Stavros Antoniou, as well as everyone who worked to help us reach the finish."
