Listen "The US visa that undermines Cyprus"
Episode Synopsis
The world’s attention will be on New York later this month, as world leaders prepare for the UN General Assembly. The Cyprus problem - one of the longest standing issues before the UN - will also be on the agenda, with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres scheduled to meet with President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar. In a slightly different approach to the issue, Michael Rubin, who joins Thanos Davelis, explains that the US has enabled Turkey’s occupation in Cyprus by granting Tatar - the leader of an illegitimate state - a visa to attend the UNGA, and breaks down how it can correct course.Michael Rubin is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Rubio Should Correct Course on Turkish Occupation of CyprusShould the Foreign Missions Travel Controls Program Extend to Turkey?US targets China’s grip on global ports in sweeping maritime missionGreece stages military exercise in Aegean after Turkish survey warningAnkara halts ship, Athens on alert
