The experiences I had during that short stay convince me that continuied military aid by the United States to the Turkish Government will only perpetuate the repression and cruelty visited upon the Greek Cypriots by the Turks. The division on the island of Cyprus grows deeper by the day. Refugees from the area daily confirm the allegations that Turkish soldiers are cultivating poppies in their sector for the sole purpose of selling them to producers of hard drugs. The whole occupied area is being transformed into a Turkish provincethey are even operating on Istanbul time. 1 hour ahead of the time on the rest of the island. There is no question in my mind that Turkey intends to consolidate its position on Cyprus and further. intends to accomplish what it had accused the Greek Government of doing: Union of Cyprus with the mainland.
