 "END THE CYPRUS OCCUPATION"
"END THE CYPRUS OCCUPATION" RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY SEN. MENENDEZ

Legislation calls on Turkey to withdraw its 43,000 occupying troops from
Republic of Cyprus

WASHINGTON - Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has introduced a resolution,
co-sponsored by Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), that calls on Turkey to
withdraw its 43,000 troops from Cyprus and allow for the process of
political reconciliation to move forward. The resolution would also call
on the United States to influence Turkey to understand the benefits of
ending the military occupation.



Turkey's desired ascension into the European Union would be greatly
enhanced by such a withdrawal. In addition, the withdrawal of Turkish
troops would improve regional stability, improve relations with
neighboring Greece, improve relations with the United States, and help
Turkey repair its reputation of being opposed to religious tolerance.



Sen. Menendez released the following statement:



"Let me be clear, there is no justification for the 43,000 Turkish
troops to be in Cyprus. Millions of people have been crossing the buffer
zone without incident for years. There are no military attacks and there
is no need for military protection of Turkish Cypriots. In the end,
these troops only serve to create military tension."



"For the U.S. to remain silent during this unjust occupation injures our
moral standing internationally. And because silence is complicity, we
must speak out."
