The Ec ,turkey And Cyprus

EDM number 732 in 1992-93, proposed by Edward O'Hara on 03/11/1992.

That this House welcomes and encourages the constitutional and other reforms which the Turkish government are carrying through to improve their record on human rights and democratic structures; notes however that a Turkish army of occupation still controls 37 per cent. of the island of Cyprus; urges the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he chairs the EC/Turkey Association on 9th November, to make it unambiguously clear to the government of Turkey that any development or strengthening of EC/Turkey links, and in particular the release of the fourth financial protocol, is inextricably linked with the removal of Turkish troops from Cyprus, and to a just and lasting solution of the problem of Cyprus.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
