Sarbanes posted the following to Facebook: "I urge the Biden Administration to use all means at its disposal to resist Turkeys creeping partition of Cyprus and to bring international condemnation to these outrageous steps that President Erdogan is taking, which disrespect and violate the rights and dignity of the refugees of Varosha.
One day, Cyprus will be reunited. But that can only come with the forceful leadership of the American government deployed consistently, morally and with an abiding sense of justice. https://sarbanes.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/sarbanes-slams-erdogan-regime-violating-international-law-cyprus-video"

Sarbanes posted the following to Facebook: "Tomorrow marks the 106th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the systematic annihilation of Armenians at the hand of Ottoman-era Turkish authorities; the massacre and deportation and forced march in the desert of men, women and children. 1.5 million Armenians perished.
The United States Congress has formally recognized the Armenian Genocide, by resolutions adopted in both chambers. Now, it is time for that same recognition to come from the President of United States and we look forward to that this year.
In the meantime, and into the future, we will continue to hold close at heart the memory of those who perished in this undeniable tragedy."
