For the first time, we have such laudatory references from the President of the United States for the President of the Republic of Cyprus and our country,” stated Nikolas Papadopoulos, President of DIKO, in a written statement regarding the letter of thanks from US President Joe Biden for the humanitarian corridor initiative to Gaza, which began with the ship “Amalthea”.
“It hasn’t been many months since the ‘Al Jazeera’ scandal, the ‘Cyprus papers’, and the ‘Cyprus confidential’, when our country was internationally and globally defamed, but yesterday, President Christodoulides received a letter of thanks from the President of the United States,” he noted.
He adds that the same happened a few days ago, where for the first time we had significant positive references from the President of the European Commission and the European Commission itself for Cyprus and Nikos Christodoulides.
“From the first day of his election, the President has faced comprehensive, unfair, and leveling criticism. Especially for the humanitarian corridor initiative, he has faced incessant mockery, ridicule, and questioning. However, it is these initiatives that have upgraded our country internationally. It is these initiatives that have highlighted the geostrategic importance and role of Cyprus. These initiatives have taken us from ‘golden passports’ to ‘Amalthea’. At least let this be acknowledged,” concludes the statement.
