Publisher's Synopsis
"The volume focuses on the grassroots mobilization in the Greek American community following Turkey's illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus on July 20, 1974 through the lifting of the U.S. Arms Embargo in 1978. The mobilization events highlighted in the annotated Chronology record how Greek Americans reacted to the invasion of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey in 1974. In addition to protesting vociferously and providing humanitarian assistance, the Greek American Community gradually coalesced into a lobby under the newly unfurled banner of the "Rule of Law." This led to the remarkable accomplishment of cutting off military aid to Turkey under an Arms Embargo imposed by the US. Congress."--Provided by publisher.
