Mr. Speaker. almost 8 years have passed since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. As a result of this occupation. thousands of people have been left homeless. living as prisoners and refugees in their own homeland. An additional 2.000 people are missing. lost to their friends and families. Included in this 2.000 are 5 American citizens. In the troubled times our world now finds itself in. a unified and harmonious NATO alliance is imperative. The continual Turkish oppression of Cyprus endangers a strong and peaceful alliance in the eastern Mediterranean. We can no longer afford to have feuding among friends and neighbors.
