Condemns the illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus since 1974.

This New Jersey Senate Resolution (SR 140) is a symbolic statement condemning Turkey's 1974 military invasion and ongoing occupation of Cyprus. It calls for Turkey to immediately withdraw its forces, respect international law, and cooperate on resolving the displacement of over 160,000 Cypriots and identifying missing persons (including four U.S. citizens). The resolution urges support for a UN-backed solution based on a single Cyprus with shared sovereignty, not a "two-state" arrangement. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but expresses New Jersey's position to federal officials.
