Nicosia, Cyprus, May 27, 2026. The Cuban Ambassador to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, participated this Wednesday in the awards ceremony for the top students of French, Chinese, German, Russian, Greek, and Spanish at the Language Center of the Cyprus University of Technology at its Limassol campus.
The event recognizes the most distinguished academic records in language training at the aforementioned Cypriot institution. Pino Martínez congratulated all the award winners, especially Christina Trasyvouloy, the only outstanding student in Spanish at the third level of study.
The Cuban diplomat expressed his gratitude for the invitation and the opportunity to participate in this stimulating practice of the institution, which promotes enriching approaches to foreign language learning in conjunction with the various undergraduate programs offered by the centre. Alongside proposing ideas for upcoming courses, the event included interactive initiatives with Spanish language students through talks and exchanges on literature, film, and cultural heritage in Cuba.

ΔΗΛΩΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΤΙΚΗΣ ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗΣ:
Η Κούβα καταδικάζει την αξιοκαταφρόνητη κατηγορία εναντίον του Ηγέτη της Επανάστασης
Η Επαναστατική Κυβέρνηση καταδικάζει με τους πιο σθεναρούς όρους την αξιοκαταφρόνητη κατηγορία του Υπουργείου Δικαιοσύνης των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών που ανακοινώθηκε στις 20 Μαΐου και διακηρύχθηκε επί αρκετές εβδομάδες εναντίον του Στρατηγού Ραούλ Κάστρο Ρούθ, ηγέτη της Κουβανικής Επανάστασης.
Η κυβέρνηση των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών στερείται νομιμότητας και δικαιοδοσίας για να προβεί σε αυτή την ενέργεια. Πρόκειται για μια αξιοκαταφρόνητη και επαίσχυντη πράξη πολιτικής πρόκλησης, που βασίζεται στη δόλια χειραγώγηση του συμβάντος που οδήγησε στην κατάρριψη, τον Φεβρουάριο του 1996, δύο αεροσκαφών που επιχειρούσε η τρομοκρατική οργάνωση «Αδέλφια προς Διάσωση» με έδρα το Μαϊάμι στον κουβανικό εναέριο χώρο, οι επαναλαμβανόμενες παραβιάσεις του οποίου για εχθρικούς σκοπούς ήταν κοινώς γνωστές.
Επιπλέον, η αμερικανική κυβέρνηση διαστρεβλώνει άλλες ιστορικές αλήθειες σχετικά με το γεγονός που χρησιμοποιεί ως πρόσχημα. Παραλείπει, μεταξύ άλλων λεπτομερειών, τις πολυάριθμες επίσημες καταγγελίες που υπέβαλε η Κούβα κατά την περίοδο εκείνη στο Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών, στην Ομοσπονδιακή Υπηρεσία Πολιτικής Αεροπορίας (FAA) και στον Διεθνή Οργανισμό Πολιτικής Αεροπορίας (ICAO) σχετικά με περισσότερες από 25 σοβαρές και εσκεμμένες παραβιάσεις του κουβανικού εναέριου χώρου από την εν λόγω οργάνωση μεταξύ 1994 και 1996, κατά κατάφωρη παράβαση του διεθνούς δικαίου και της ίδιας της αμερικανικής νομοθεσίας.
Statement by the Revolutionary Government
Cuba condemns the despicable accusation against the Leader of the Revolution
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the despicable accusation by the United States Department of Justice announced on May 20 and proclaimed for several weeks against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution.
The United States government lacks the legitimacy and jurisdiction to carry out this action. It is a despicable and infamous act of political provocation, based on the dishonest manipulation of the incident that led to the downing, in February 1996, of two aircraft operated by the Miami-based terrorist organization Brothers to the Rescue over Cuban airspace, which repeated violations of Cuban airspace for hostile purposes were of common knowledge.

For his part, Pino Martínez thanked the host official for the opportunity to participate last Sunday in the inauguration of the 2026 Special Olympics of Cyprus, in that coastal city; at the same time, he was able to anticipate new proposals for bilateral events that will help enrich the Cooperation Agreement signed in 2023 between that Cypriot municipality and the Provincial Government of Santiago de Cuba, in the field of cultural and economic cooperation.
