HER MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATIONS TO CYPRUS

EDM number 407 in 1996-97, proposed by Alan Meale on 16/01/1997.

That this House views with dismay threatening statements made by representatives of the Turkish Government and the leader of the illegal regime, Rauf Denktash, with regard to proposed ground-to-air defence measures being considered by the recognised, legitimate Government of the Republic of Cyprus; regrets the need for such considerations made necessary by the continued illegal occupation of the Republic of Cyprus by at least 35,000 Turkish troops together with their massive arsenal of weaponry which continues to pose a real threat to peace and reconciliation for Greek and Turkish Cypriots alike as well as stability in the Middle East; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government, as a guarantor power, to fulfil its obligations under the Treaty of Guarantee and to support the United Kingdom's ally, the Cyprus Republic, who in modern times has never failed Britain in its conflicts against facism and tyranny the world over.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
