Turkey Escalates Tension in the Republic of Cyprus

In violation of International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Turkey deployed F16 fighter jets in the occupied area of Cyprus.

The self-declared “Turkish Republic of Cyprus” (TRNC), an illegal puppet state, is only recognized by Turkey.  The international community, including the United States and the European Union, recognizes only the Republic of Cyprus.

We call on President Trump to immediately apply pressure on Dictator Erdogan to remove the Turkish occupation troops and allow all Cypriot refugees to return to their ancestral homes. 

Fifty-two years of occupation of 36% of the Republic of Cyprus must come to an end.  The Republic of Cyprus, a strong strategic partner of America and deserves our support.
