AMMAN, Oct. 14 (Petra) – Cypriot Ambassador to Jordan Sevag
Avedissian underscored the global resonance of His Majesty King
Abdullah II’s address at the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly
regarding conditions in Gaza and the West Bank, noting that His
Majesty’s principles apply broadly to international conflict
resolution.

Speaking at a reception in Amman on Tuesday marking the 66th
Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Cyprus–attended by
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Nancy Namrouqa alongside senior
officials, diplomats, and media figures–Avedissian said King Abdullah
delivered fundamental truths, emphasizing that military force cannot
achieve genuine solutions.

“His Majesty delivered key messages, stressing that while some issues
require immediate attention and others demand sustained focus,
injustice requires both,” the envoy stated. He added that softening
descriptions of actions risks normalizing violations, questioning the
efficacy of international law if allowed to be ignored for decades.

Avedissian noted that commemorating Cypriot independence in Amman
carries special significance given the strong, multi-faceted
relationship connecting Jordan and Cyprus.

Addressing global issues discussed during the recent UN General
Assembly, the ambassador highlighted artificial intelligence as a
primary focus. He noted that while AI serves as a powerful catalyst
for human progress, world leaders and technology executives
emphasized the necessity of effective oversight and regulation to
mitigate its substantial risks.

The anniversary event included cultural and artistic performances
showcasing Cypriot heritage.
