Condemning Turkey for its illegal occupation of Cyprus and encouraging President Trump to make the resolution of the Cyprus problem a top foreign policy priority.

Sponsored By: Representative Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11]

Introduced

Summary

Withdrawal of about 35,000 Turkish troops from Cyprus is the resolution's central demand. It would condemn Turkey's occupation, press Ankara to follow NATO's democratic principles, and back a bizonal, bicommunal federal settlement aligned with EU and U.N. standards.

Show full summary
  • Greek-Cypriot families and refugees would see a push for repatriation and return to ancestral homes, with a settlement framed as a bizonal, bicommunal federation.
  • American citizens who lost property in the occupied area would be urged to get avenues for financial remedies and restitution, and the resolution seeks help recovering four missing Americans from the 1974 invasion.
  • The Turkish government would be called on to remove over 200,000 settlers from occupied Cyprus and assist with repatriation.
  • NATO members and regional actors would face a diplomatic push for Turkey to stop interfering in Cyprus's Exclusive Economic Zone and to adhere to NATO's democratic mission.
