Cyprus -- "The status quo is unacceptable"

Abstract

On the eve of the talks between the leaders of the Greek and Turkish
communities of Cyprus on the future of the divided island, an overview is
provided of the attitude of the Greek diaspora in the United States and its
lobbying activity against a background of dramatic political developments
in Greece and Cyprus. The encouraging signs perceived in the summer of
1991 may prove misleading unless a number of negative factors are forcefully
tackled: the record of false promises and the ensuing apathy in the Greek
world, the persisting pro-Turkish attitude of the USA and the West, let alone
the long-standing division between the two communities of the island.
