Condemns the illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus since 1974.
New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 201 condemns Turkey's 1974 invasion and ongoing occupation of Cyprus, which displaced over 160,000 Cypriots (nearly one-third of Cyprus's population) and violated international law. It calls on Turkey to immediately withdraw forces, respect human rights agreements, and cooperate on identifying missing persons - including four U.S. citizens - and supports a UN-backed solution of a bizonal, bicommunal federation for Cyprus. The resolution is symbolic, transmitted to the U.S. President and Congress, but does not create new legal requirements or directly affect individuals. It aligns with European Court and UN positions affirming Cypriot property rights and self-determination.
