Mr. Chairman. about this time last year. we witnessed the brutal invasion of Cyprus by Turkeyan act of aggression that has resulted in the occupation of 40 percent of Cyprus by Turkish troops. the creation of 200.000 refugeesabout a third of the islands populationand the killing and wounding of thousands of innocent people. The death and destruction wrought by the Turks on that small peaceful island was carried out with American arms and ammunition which were supplied to Turkey for defensive purposes. Turkeys use of those weapons was a direct violation of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Foreign Military Sales Act which require immediate suspension of aid to countries that use U.S.supplied arms for aggressive purposes.
