Speaker. according to recently published news reports. the House of Representatives will in the near future be taking up the question of lifting the embargo on military aid to Turkey. I believe it is hard for us here in Washington. thousands of miles away from the Republic of Cyprus. to truly appreciate the tragic effect upon that nation of the Tmkish invasion of July 20. 1974. Two hundred thousand Greek Cypriots became refugees in 1 week in that onesided conflict between regular units of the Turkish Army and the Cypriot National Guard. Two thousand five hundred Greek Cypriots are still unaccounted for. The effect of the invasion as a whole. like other largescale events of history. cannot be grasped except statistically.
