Washington, D.C.'s Hudson Institute is holding "The Solution to the Cyprus Problem: Famagusta, Energy, and Public Relations" seminar, this Friday, June 20th, from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m.

On Friday, June 20th, Hudson Institute will host an important conversation with Alexis Galanos, Mayor of the city of Famagusta and former Speaker of the Cyprus House of Representatives.
