I have many Greek constituents. many Greek supporters and friends. When I voted to impose the arms embargo on Turkey last year. I did so out of a desire to break the deadlock on Cyprus. Since that time I have visited the NATO countries. and talked with a number of people about the situation in the eastern Mediterranean. My discussions convinced me that the boycott should be partially lifted. The fact is the embargo has not worked. and has only served to harden the situation. The 180.000 refugees live in as much misery and squallor as they did before we imposed the embargo. Meanwhile. American interests are in jeopardy.
