Secretary Blinken: The US-Cyprus relationship is "stronger than ever"

Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department on Tuesday, where the two discussed deepening the bilateral relationship, which Secretary Blinken said was “stronger than ever.” They also discussed the 3+1 mechanism with Greece and Israel, and additional bilateral and regional issues. There was no mention in the readout, however, of Varosha, which Turkey has taken steps to illegally re-open.

We also look into the State Department’s letter to Congress on Turkey’s request to purchase upgraded F-16 jets.
