Correct Choice of President for Western Turn and It's Paying Off

The author criticizes those who criticize the President Christodoulides' foreign and defense policy, stating that his choice for a Western turn is paying off. He refers to the failure of the Christofias government to withdraw Cyprus from the EU and turn to Russia, as well as the criticism received by Christodoulides from DISY for approaching the US. The author argues that Cyprus's participation in Trump's Peace Council was positive and that the sending of the Foreign Minister to Washington was important. He criticizes the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for the inaccuracy he publicized regarding the electricity cable to Kasos. The author emphasizes that Christodoulides is fulfilling his election promises and that the approach to the US is successful, despite reactions from some European leaders. He believes that Trump's personal invitation to Christodoulides is a recognition of Cyprus's importance.
