The Cyprus Problem is the Subject of WWS Lecture

Princeton, N.J. -- Tozun Bahcheli, professor of political science at King's College, Ontario, and Christopher Hitchens, contributing editor to Vanity Fair, will give a lecture entitled "Prospects for a Solution on the Cyprus Problem: Changing Dynamics in the Euro-American Security Order" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Thursday, October 23, at 4:30 p.m. in Robertson Hall, Bowl 1.

For more than 20 years, Bahcheli has researched and written about Turkish foreign policy, the Cyprus conflict, and other Greek-Turkish issues. His numerous articles on these subjects have appeared in a variety of journals, and he is the author of Greek-Turkish Relations since 1955 (Westview Press, 1990). During the 1995-96 academic year, Bahcheli was a senior fellow at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C.

A contributing editor to Vanity Fair since 1992, Hitchens writes the magazine's monthly Fin de Si cle column, which has featured the story of a dramatic journey across Africa and a controversial portrait of Mother Teresa. He also is the author of numerous books, including Hostage to History: Cyprus from the Ottomans to Kissinger (Quartet Books, 1984). Hitchens is the 1996 recipient of the Professional Freedom and Responsibility Award, given by the Qualitative Studies Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.

Their lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Princeton University's Program in Hellenic Studies.
