Motion text
That this House notes that it has been 50 years since Turkey invaded Cyprus; highlights that in 1974, Turkish forces launched what they called a peace operation after a brief Greek inspired coup; further notes that whilst it has been years since there has been any violence between the two sides, the ethnically split island is a persistent source of tension between Greece and Turkey; underlines that both are partners in NATO but are at odds over numerous issues and that reunification talks collapsed in 2017 and have been at a stalemate since; and urges the UK Government to take diplomatic steps to achieve peace and stability and work towards a settled, happy future for all citizens in the region.
