SR 43 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Condemns the illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus since 1974.

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 43) condemns Turkey's 1974 invasion and ongoing occupation of Cyprus, marking 51 years of illegal control. It calls for Turkey to immediately withdraw forces and supports a UN-backed solution based on a bizonal, bicommunal federation with shared sovereignty, citizenship, and international identity. The resolution also urges Turkey to respect human rights agreements, cooperate on identifying missing persons (including four U.S. citizens), and return displaced Cypriot property per international rulings. It directly addresses Turkey and aligns with UN Security Council resolutions, though it has no legal force.
