“Since its inception, the AHI has been one of the most vocal and dedicated advocates of Hellenism in the United States…I wish to express my profound appreciation for the invaluable contributions the American Hellenic Institute has made in strengthening Greek-American relations. Its work has been especially important given the deepening strategic relationship between Greece and the United States in recent years.”

“For five decades, the AHI has served as an advocate for and support the Greek American community. AHI’s focus on public policy and work is critical now more than ever, and I am proud to partner in our continued efforts to address pressing issues in U.S. foreign relations with Greece and her neighbors.”

“In the wake of the 1974 invasion of Cyprus, Gene Rossides founded the AHI aiming to enforce the rule of law in the case of Cyprus, an effort which directly led to the unprecedented U.S. arms embargo against Turkey. Since then, the AHI has developed into a leading organization upholding the rule of law in U.S. foreign policy as regards to Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean region…I am also pleased to note that the bilateral relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the United States are going from strength to strength as the strategic cooperation between the two sides further deepens and expands. AHI’s contribution to this has been and continues to be of paramount importance.”

“I am a staunch believer in the work of the American Hellenic Institute, and I have always said that if it didn’t exist, we should have invented it.”

“AHI [is] an important force, especially here on Capitol Hill, especially when we think about how we make good policy that’s in the best interest of the United States. It doesn’t just take smart legislators; it takes people on the outside who care about these issues, who understand what's at stake, and who are pushing Congress in the right direction.”

“AHI is one of the shining examples I often use of how Greece’s large American diaspora community can most constructively work with Greece and help us strengthen our bilateral relationship. The tremendous programs [AHI] put together are examples of AHI’s truly unique role as a facilitator of the strategic relationship between the United States and Greece.”

“I would also like to extend my thanks [to] the countless employees who work behind the scenes at AHI, and my colleagues in Congress offering their support. All of you play an instrumental role in maintaining the strong role between the U.S. and its Eastern Mediterranean allies.”

“Thank you so much for your leadership, and for visits [from] AHI, here on the Hill. I can’t express how important it is because I’m blessed to have a large, vibrant, Greek-Hellenic community within my congressional district. I want to thank AHI again for being here on the Hill, not just when you’re visiting, but throughout the year, keeping us updated on priority issues, and how Congress - both sides of the aisle - can best be helpful and constructive.”

“AHI's relentless leadership and continued advocacy is critical to increasing and maintaining awareness among members of Congress. In all of these matters and so many more involving US-Greece and US-Cyprus relations, AHI has played a pivotal role. Congratulations on your relentless commitment to justice!”

“I would like to commend AHI for its key role in strengthening relationships between the U.S. and some of our closest allies. For decades, the Institute has been a leading voice in Washington on Greek-American and Cypriot-American relations and I am confident that you will continue this valuable work as our nations' partnership enters its third century”

“Thank you so much for your leadership, and for visits [from] AHI, here on the Hill.
