A two-day conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus was held in Washington, organized by the American Hellenic Institute. Key speakers included Senator Chris Van Hollen, who emphasized that partition is not an acceptable solution for the U.S., and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Josh Hack. Discussions highlighted the historical events of 1974, concerns about Turkey’s stance, and the geopolitical significance of Cyprus today, including the vital role of U.S. influence in seeking a resolution.
