In spite of the work done by the United Nations. these people are still no closer in returning to their homes. It seems clear that the current discussions have not helped the people of Cyprus and have not noticeably moved the sides any closer to agreement. The fact that Turkey has encouraged thousands of its citizens to settle in the occupied northern part of Cyprus clearly indicates their desire to prolong the occupation and delay or prevent the eventual return of the refugees to their homes. In 1974. the United States placed an arms embargo on Turkey because of its misuse of American arms in Cyprus. This was done as a means of diplomatic pressure toward a settlement of the crisis.
