As a true statesmen and champion of justice, truth and courage, Senator Paul Sarbanes always will be remembered for the values we continue to cherish as Hellenic Americans.

Paul Sarbanes was an inspirational leader in Congress and advocated within the Senate to bring justice for Cyprus and promote strong relations between the United States, Greece & Cyprus.

In the darkest days of the invasion of Cyprus in 1974, his leadership helped to impose the arms embargo on Turkey.

In the most difficult times his courage and leadership provided the hope for justice to prevail.

The Hellenic American community is indebted to his contributions.

May his memory be forever eternal.

Dr. James F. Dimitriou
President
The American Hellenic Council
