Turkish opium poppy; and
WHEREAS, Turkey has refused to comply with U.N. Resolutions calling for the
withdrawal of all foreign troops from Cyprus and the cessation of all foreign
interference on the Island; and

precedent of payment by the U.S. for base rights on the soil of our own allies,
rewards aggression and yields to blackmail; and

refugees have been deprived of their properties, their livelihoods, and in some

Turkey until Turkey withdraws all her troops and civilians froifl Cyprus, allows all
