The Daily Roundup - Monday, July 20, 2020
On this day, in 1974, 46 years ago, the Turkish army invaded Cyprus. The illegal invasion and occupation of part of the Republic of Cyprus continues to date, in violation of International Law and United Nations resolutions. HALC Executive Director Endy Zemenides and activist and community leader Tasos Zambas join to talk about this day and the ongoing efforts for justice for Cyprus.
Tasos Zambas is the Chairman of the Justice for Cyprus Committee for the Federation of Cypriot-American Associations, and a refugee from Morphou, Cyprus.
