Speaker. we usually bring up this divisionand the illegal occupation of Cyprus by the Turkish Armyon July 20. the anniversary of the invasion by Turkish troops. Were a little early this year. but its never too early to speak out in the cause of peace and what is right. It has been more than 15 years since that invasion. 15 years of occupation and colonization by the Turks of 40 percent of the Republic of Cyprus. For more than 15 years now 200.000 GreekCypriots have been forced to live as refugees in their own land4.000 lost their lives outright during the invasion. If we see yet another July 20 pass without a resolution to this tragedy. it will be a sad. sad day indeed. However.
