SecretaryGeneral Kurt Waldheim has made repeated efforts to reach a settlement. Fortunately. the Greek and Turkish Cypriots resumed the U.N.-sponsored intercommunal talks in Nicosia last fall. In September the two sides began the substantive negotiations. with priority given to the return of GreekCypriot refugees to the Turkishoccupied Famagusta region. Other issues on the agenda include practical measures to improve the atmosphere between the two communities. territorial matters and the constitutional aspects of the situation. I believe. as one who has visited and studied Cyprus. that the United States needs to actively support the efforts for a resolution of the problem. since it involves U.S. allies.
