Speaker. no nation on Earth has shown a greater respect for the rule of law and the peaceful pursuit of justice than the people of Cyprus since their island republic was split 1. years ago. Without the onethird of the Island in the north. which contains the greater part of Cyprus natural resources. the nation has managed to prosper and to increase its status as a center for trade. communications. commerce. tourism. and industry. Many Cyprus leaders in these enterprise were totally destitute when they left their homes in the north and became refugees in their own land. They lifted themselves and restored their nation the old fashioned way: Through honest. hard work. The demands of the people of Cyprus for reunification of their nation have not slackened during the 17 years of Turkish occupation of the north. and. if there is any change. it is that the determination to be one nation again Is greater than it was after the 1974 occupation.
