Deepest condolences

            The officers of the Council of Hellenes Abroad (SAE) in direct communication with omogenia leadership issued the following statement:

            “We are appalled by this horrible assault and we condemn the cowardly act and its perpetrators. The Hellenic community, as part of the American people, fully supports all action that will lead to the punishment of those responsible,” said Andrew Athens, SAE president.

            “The United States is our country too and as such it needs our support to maintain its prestige around the world, to be able to offer its assistance to those who need it, and to continue working for world peace,” added Chris Tomaras, SAE vice-president, coordinator of the Americas Region.

            The Coordinating Council of SAE together with the Greek American organizations is ready to provide the necessary support for the relief of all those victimized, Mr. Tomaras stressed.

            In the same spirit, Mr. Tomaras invites all Greek Americans living in New York to call the SAE offices for any information or comment that they may have at (312) 357-6424.
