We in Congress sought to work at ending the conflicts and bringing peace to Cyprus. The administration is willing to prolong the misery and suffering which is exactly what will happen if we lift the embargo today. A lifting of the embargo without assurances that conditions will improve for the 200.000 refugees and others suffering on Cyprus would be a tragedy of profound significance. I want no part of such a vote. nor do my colleagues. A no vote is needed to preserve integrity and firmness in our foreign policy as well as offer a ray of hope for peace for the beleaguered people of Cyprus.
