Our national policy is in part responsible for what occurred in Cyprus. We supported the Greek junta and it was that junta that executed the coup detat in Cyprus. removing President Archbishop Makarios from office. And It was our refusal to cut off economic and military aid to Turkey that encouraged the Turkish Government to invade Cyprus. Upwards of 200.000 Cypriots are now refugees on their island home. The island is in part occupied by Turkish military forces that have expended their enclave so that it now occupies near 40 percent of the island. The Turkish Government refers to the military perimeter as the "Attila" line.
