On October 26, 2024, the Cyprus Society of Greater Philadelphia marked a powerful milestone—the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. This poignant event honored the brave men and women who fought for Cyprus’s freedom. 🇨🇾

“These are the things that we have to bring out to all Americans. The public opinion has to know that Turkey… is still not a good ally.” Emphasizing the role of the Greek-American community, Christopher urged, “We, as Greek-Americans, must fight, and we must fight in a way as never before. They must understand that the Greek-American community, united, will continue to fight.”

Let’s raise awareness and continue the fight for justice.
