Speaker. on April 22 Congressman WILLIAM BROOMFIELD and I will be conducting a special order calling for a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Cyprus. Since 1974. Turkish military forces have occupied this small island nation with U.S. armaments. The results of this unjustified and illegal occupation are tragic. During the Turkish invasion 200.000 Cypriots were forced to flee from their homes and villages and have. since 1974. lived as refugees in their own homeland. These proud and hardworking people have been struggling for almost 8 years to attain the basic necessities of life. As long as Turkish troops remain in the country. the economy will continue to deteriorate and the basic human rights of the Cypriots will be abused further.
