Turkish troops have systematically killed innocent civilians on a substantial scale. Turkish occupation forces have been found guilty of raping women of all ages. The Human Rights Commission also found that prisoners and those detained for questioning have suffered inhumane tortures. With the force of American arms. the Turkish troops refuse to allow the return of refugees to their homes. Little has changed in fact. the situation has gotten worse. The real tragedy of this matter is that 4 years ago we were assured in the strongest possible terms that a lifting of the arms embargo would be a critical step in encouraging the Turks to reach a negotiated settlement.
