July 20 will mark the eighth anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and we are nowhere closer to achieving justice for that Mediterranean island republic than we were the day the Turkish army stormed ashore. Forty percent of Cyprus is occupied by 30.000 Turkish troops equipped with American weapons. 40.000 mainland Turks have been shipped into the occupied area as colonists.

Despite international pressure including repeated calls for withdrawal by the United Nations the Turks have refused to leave or to seek any other solution. Talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriots conducted by the U.N.
