Mr. Speaker. in the summer of 1974. the television sets of the world brought yet another war into our living roomsthe Turkish invasion of Cyprus. We saw Turkish C47 transports against the brilliant blue of the Mediterranean sky. flying in tight V formations for dropping paratroopers. We saw the whole familiar horror of invasion and aggressionthe clanking tanks. the frightened bewildered refugees. cities turned into battlefields. villages that had sustained families for centuries suddenly desolate except for the soldiers of the occupier. Seven years after these images first assaulted us. Cyprus is no longer newsworthy to the media. Newsworthy or not.
