"My goal is to have a final solution to the Cyprus problem. An issue that is of concern to the United States and I will do everything in my power to get it resolved once and for all," Robert Menendez Jr, candidate for Federal Congressman in New Jersey and son of the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, told the Cyprus News Agency.
Mr. Menendez, who was in New York for meetings with expatriate organizations, also told the Cyprus News Agency that Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' meeting with US President Joe Biden and members of Congress was successful and constructive. "This is the beginning of a constructive cooperation and close relationship between Greece and the United States," he said.
Robert Menendez Jr. visited New York and held meetings with expatriates at the initiative of Cypriot organizations as part of his election campaign.
During his speech and referring to Cyprus and the Cyprus problem, he stressed that he would continue the work started by his father in Congress. "Until we see Cyprus united the work is not over. My father has done a great job but the battle continues to ensure that Cyprus is reunited and free," he said.
Menendez, during their speech to the expatriates, also recounted how the Menendez family came close to Hellenism. "My mother was the link to the family of Tasos Zaba. When they came to America from Cyprus, they met her in a public school in Union City and that is how this relationship and our love for Cyprus began. Thanks to my mother and it is her part of this relationship, not just my father's," he said.
WCCA President Philip Christopher, addressing Menendez, stressed that thanks to philanthropy, "we respect the people who help us and we don't forget. Especially, what Robert Menendez has offered to Greece and Cyprus."
