State Department's briefing November 19, 2013
Do you know if you have any statement on the death of the former president of Cyprus?
MS. PSAKI: Cyprus? Mm-hmm. We mourn the passing of former president Glafcos Clerides of Cyprus. As the White House noted in its statement, Clerides was a devoted public servant who helped lead Cyprus to independence and worked tirelessly to heal the division of the island and bring it into the European Union. We honor his courage and commitment as well as his statesmanship, and we extend our deepest condolences on his passing.
