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 significant humanitarian impact of the invasion, noting that over 160,000 Cypriots were forcibly displaced, and emphasizes the European Court of Human Rights' recognition of rightful property ownership for those affected. The resolution also points out Turkey's disregard for United Nations Security Council resolutions that call 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 adhere to international human rights agreements, urging a comprehensive solution based on a bizonal, bicommunal federation as outlined in UN resolutions. Additionally, it requests Turkey's cooperation in locating the remains of over 900 missing individuals, including four U.S. citizens, from the conflict. The resolution will be transmitted to key U.S. government officials to raise awareness and prompt action regarding the situation in Cyprus.
