Since 1974. over 30.000 heavily armed Turkish troops have occupied the northern half of Cyprus. Their brutal invasion caused the death of many innocent human beings and the disappearance of many whose whereabouts are still unknown. Over 200.000 Greek Cypriots were displaced by that military action. Their homes and properties are being used by 60.000 Turkish immigrants brought to Cyprus by Turkish authorities. In 1984. the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 550 which deems as inadmissable any attempts to settle any part of the resort city of Varosha. The resolution calls for the transfer of this area to the administration of the United Nations.
