I will try to bring the situation up to date from October both on Cyprus and legislatively: First. on Cyprus. the stalemate continues. While the humanitarian talks between Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders did produce some POW exchanges. the essential problems of military occupation by 40.000 Turkish troops. and the consequent displacement of over 200.000 Cypriot citizens remain and intensify. Many thousands of refugees are living in tents. other thousands occupy public building and thereby disrupt the educational and administrative structure of the island republic. No negotiations have begun on the principal issues of the future government of the island. of the refugees status nor of the military occupation. For while Greece has undergone successful elections since October. the Turkish Government is still disrupted by the Cyprus military victory of its armies. No political leader is prepared to see another gain from the events on Cyprus.
