This year marks the 40th Anniversary Commemoration of the Invasion of Cyprus and the birth of the American Hellenic Council. As we gather to honor those worthy individuals at our annual Gala, we shall not forget that a large part of Cyprus is still under occupation.
At the AHC, we have been and will keep working by educating and reminding the American public and US policymakers of the ongoing occupation of the island.
