Leading members of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues have launched a legislative initiative to permanently lift the arms embargo against Cyprus.
The aim of the initiative is to eliminate restrictions and exclusions linked to the provision of military assistance and the sale of defence equipment to the Republic of Cyprus.
The Unites States have already lifted the embargo, however it needs to be renewed annually, which makes long-term planning difficult.
Hellenic Caucus hopes that its initiative will pave the way for the sale of American weapon systems to Cyprus, thus further strengthening defence ties between Washington and Nicosia.
