“We thank PSEKA for organizing this important timely discussion, and I appreciated the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with members of Congress and colleagues on the policies impacting the Republic of Cyprus and to prioritize them,” AHI President Larigakis said. “These discussions serve to ensure that Turkey’s flagrant violations of the rule of law, and egregious acts of provocation, are not forgotten, especially by policymakers in Washington. I commend all participants for their tireless efforts to achieve a Cyprus whole, free, and at peace.”
