Before the Turkish inva- sion of July 1974 the Nicosia office did a thriving busi- ness. After the fighting business plummeted, but now that Cyprus is reacha- ble by air again, it is picking up. According to the New York Times, the marriage law permits a couple to get married 17 days after filing notice. The period can be cut to seven days for a fee of $110. Under pressure from the Greek Orthodox Church, which used to dominate the island, the law was written to exclude Greek Orthodox couples. It also excludes any "Turk pro- fessing the Moslem faith" — an effective way of dis- couraging mixed mar- riages on an island that is four-fifths ethnic Greek and one-fifth ethnic Turk. Most couples come to Cy- prus from Israel, Lebanon and Greece. Many of the couples are entering mixed marriages. • Featuring: Nina, Carber, Elditas, Many More • • • • • • • • • • • • • • convicted terrorist despite strong public pressures, as when Arabs are convicted of putting bombs in supermar- kets, bus queues or public squares.

This right includes free le- gal services. • "One important safe- guard in Israel is that the Red Cross is allowed to visit detainees — but only 18 days after being taken into an interrogation center, and then only in the presence of an official. In the case of severe torture it would be possible for the Red Cross visitors to observe signs of ill-treatment and to take statements from prisoners," Legum wrote.
