The US, Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean

The General and the Ambassador®

Ambassador Kathleen Doherty and former Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Rachel Ellehuus talk about their work together on Cyprus - the effects of the division of the island on US engagement in the region and on NATO, the decision to lift the long standing US arms embargo, the dispute over energy resources between Cyprus and Turkey, Russia’s decades long ties to the island and the “time warp” of the UN monitored buffer zone.
