If the indirect effect intended by the embargo when it was imposed was to induce Turkey to come to some reconciliation in respect to the dispute between the Greeks and Turks of the Island of Cyprus and the Greek Government and the Turkish Government. then no progress has been made toward the settlement of that dispute. Turkey has done absolutely nothing toward reaching a peaceful settlement of the dispute. The Turks occupied Cyprus using American instruments of war furnished to her as a NATO power only. pressed on into the Isle of Cyprus until it occupied 40 percent of that islandthe best part of the island economically. In doing so it dispossessed 200.000 refugees of their homes. They are still disposessedstill not allowed to return to their homes. So what is the justification for asking us to lift the embargo.
