Mr. Speaker. it has been 18 years since the Turkish invasion of the island of Cyprus. Since that time. the Berlin Wall. dividing East and West Germany has fallen. but the awful "Green Line" dividing Greek Cypriots in the south from Turkish Cypriots in the north has remained. The "Green Line" has for too many years separated family members and forced many Cypriots to become refugees in their own homeland. It is time to take down this 18yearold wall. The Cypriot people have suffered long enough. High level meetings on the Cyprus issue are being held under the guidance of the U.N.
