On the recordJuly 23, 1996
here we are again, year after year, doing this special order marking the 22 years of division of the Republic of Cyprus as the result of an unlawful invasion 22 years go by the Turkish military. I am saddened by this so-called anniversary but, of course, we are all hopeful that this will be the year that the division of Cyprus is finally resolved. And I guess year after year after year we are always hopeful that this will be the year. And, of course, it never turns out to be that way. And then here we are again, the esteemed gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman], the esteemed gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Porter], the esteemed gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Klink], so many others, doing this. We will continue to do it because we feel that possibly we may penetrate the consciousness of the people responsible.
