Cyprus official speaks on country's future, March 1
Posted February 23, 2006; 10:37 p.m.
Euripides Evriviades, Cyprus' ambassador to the United States, will
discuss his country's future in a lecture set for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday,
March 1, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Evriviades' lecture is titled "Cyprus in the European Union: Prospects
for Reunification, Peace with Turkey and Regional Stability."
Cyprus has been split along ethnic lines since Turkey invaded the
island in 1974. The Greek Cypriot government is internationally
recognized and has represented Cyprus in the E.U. since 2004, but only
controls the southern part of the island. The Greek Cypriots rejected a
United Nations peace plan in 2004.
Prior to his appointment to the United States, Evriviades served as
Cyprus' ambassador to the Netherlands and Israel. He also has held
positions at Cypriot embassies in Libya, Russia and Germany.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs as part of a series of events celebrating the school's 75th anniversary.
