THE AMERICAN HELLENIC Institute (AHI),
was founded on August 1, 1974, following Turkey’s invasion
of Cyprus with the illegal use of American-supplied arms in violation
of U.S. laws and agreements. The AHI initiated the rule of law issue
in the Congress in the interests of the U.S., thus changing the face
of American politics.
