I urge the administration to do everything possible to bring peace to that island by putting the issue of reducing the number of Turkish occupation troops on the front burner in our talks with Turkish authorities. The invasion of Cyprus In 1974 cruelly divided that lovely island. Over 150.000 Greek Cypriots were displaced from their homes in the north of the island and became refugees in their own land. Thousands of Greek Cypriots are still missing to include Andrew Kassapis. as young Michigan resident who was taken from his familys home on Cyprus and never seen again. Nearly 30.000 Turkish troops occupy the northern tier of Cyprus and over 50.000 Turkish settlers were brought from Turkey to live in the north.
