Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) joins the STOP coalition, in  coordinated protests against Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip  Erdogan's visit to New York and the United Nations. The STOP Coalition stands  for "Stop Terrorizing Orthodox Peoples!"

Our group is open to any and all who believe the time has come to draw public attention to the evil of the continuing genocides against the many millions of Orthodox Christians around the world.

The Turkish government, led by Erdogan, is an unrepentant perpetrator of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Genocides of 1915-1923. Successive Turkish governments continue to degrade the victims by denying any responsibility for the crime of genocide.

Violating international law and human rights conventions Turkey
continues its brutal, illegal occupation of Cyprus. Over one thousand missing Greeks in Cyprus remain unaccounted and many were used for barbaric scientific experiments. The cultural genocide of Orthodox Christianity by Turkey continues in historic Armenia, Pontus and Constantinople, and   Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus.

Join us, in witnessing readings of survivor testimonies, in lighting of candles for the dead, and in our demand that Turkey make a public apology.
