Expatriates on promotion of Greek national issues

CATO Institute of Defence and Foreign Policy Studies Department vice president Dr. Ted G. Carpenter, speaking in the Greek Parliament said that “it is an opportunity for Greece to show that together with Cyprus they are far more important allies for the US than Turkey is.”

He added that “Greece needs to remind with every opportunity and not let anyone forget how much it has supported the interests of the US. There are opportunities for us to promote national interests through our relations with the US. However, we must chase them because the window will not remain open forever. Now is the opportunity and we must seize it.”

Dr. Carpenter, together with the member of the Board of the American Hellenic Institute, Inc., on foreign policy issues of the US in the Eastern Mediterranean, Nick Larigakis, briefed the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Diaspora Hellenism Committee on the efforts being made by expatriates in promoting Greek national issues.
