The Senate resolution condemns Turkey's illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus, which began in 1974, marking 51 years of continued military presence. It highlights the forced displacement of over 160,000 Cypriots, nearly one-third of the island's population, and references the European Court of Human Rights' rulings affirming the rightful ownership of property in occupied areas. The resolution also notes Turkey's disregard for United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for the return of occupied land and documents ongoing human rights violations, including the desecration of religious sites.

In response, the resolution calls for Turkey to withdraw its occupying forces and urges a comprehensive solution based on a bizonal, bicommunal federation, as outlined in UN resolutions. It emphasizes the need for Turkey to respect international human rights agreements and cooperate in locating the remains of over 900 missing persons, including four U.S. citizens. The resolution will be communicated to key U.S. government officials to raise awareness and prompt action regarding the situation in Cyprus.
