For some time now. Turkish military forces. equipped with U.S. armaments. have occupied the small island nation of Cyprus. As a result of this occupation over 200.000 Cypriots have been forced to leave their homes and villages. and they have essentially been forced to live as refugees within their own homeland. The economy in Cyprus has deteriorated quite steadily since this occupation. and without a peaceful settlement. it seems likely that this deterioration will continue. The effects on the personal dignity of the Cypriots of this occupation have no doubt been substantial and. for all practical purposes. are probably immeasurable.
