Kissinger & Cyprus: A Study in Lawlessness
By Gene Rossides
Thursday, October 16, 2014 18:30 to 21:00
Officers’ Club, 1 Ethnikis Aminis Street,
(2nd Floor) Thessaloniki
This book explores four themes. The first is Kissinger’s illegal actions and responsibility for the Cyprus tragedy of 1974 and its aftermath. The second is Cyprus’s importance as a strategic, economic, and political asset to Europe and the United States. The third is Turkey’s actions as a rogue state, its violations of US and international laws, its history of unreliability as an ally and its moves toward Islamic fundamentalism. The fourth is the vital importance to the United States of absolute allegiance to the rule of law. The concluding chapter discusses the need for the US to redress the situation in Cyprus by pressuring Turkey to withdraw its troops and settlers from Cyprus.
Gene Rossides served as Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury from 1969 to 1973 in the first term of the Nixon Administration. Henry Kissinger was National Security Adviser during this time.
“Rossides leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind that Kissinger’s policies traded America’s legal and moral position for a short-term political gain. Even the gain, he notes, was questionable.” Prof. Louis Galambos, Johns Hopkins University, & Editor, The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower.
