Supporting the removal of Turkish occupation troops from the Republic

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
DECEMBER 14, 2005 
Mr. ANDREWS (for himself, Mr. BILIRAKIS, Mr. SHERMAN, Mrs. MALONEY, 
Ms. LEE, Mr. PALLONE, Ms. BERKLEY, Ms. WATSON, Ms. LINDA T. 
SA´NCHEZ of California, and Mr. KUCINICH) submitted the following reso-
lution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the removal of Turkish occupation troops from 
the Republic of Cyprus. 
Whereas the United States has shown consistent interest in 
resolving the Cyprus issue and has encouraged every ef-
fort in that direction; 
Whereas both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders 
continue to affirm their commitment to reaching a settle-
ment that reunifies the island and its people; 
Whereas the Greek Cypriots have implemented a package of 
trade, aid, and good faith measures designed to assist 
their Turkish Cypriot compatriots by ensuring that the 
Turkish Cypriots can enjoy the same rights and privi-
leges enjoyed by all other citizens of Cyprus, such as free
•HRES 603 IH 
movement of goods, improved healthcare, education, 
trade, and employment opportunities; 
Whereas Turkish occupying troops have been in Cyprus ever 
since the illegal occupation of 1974, and the number of 
these troops has increased over the last three decades so 
that there are now more than 40,000 Turkish troops in 
the occupied part of Cyprus, making this country one of 
the most militarized countries in the world; 
Whereas for the first time in thirty years trade has begun in 
both directions between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cyp-
riots, and Turkish Cypriots participated in the Cyprus 
International Fair with the support of the authorities of 
the Republic of Cyprus; 
Whereas the April 2003 opening of crossing points through 
the cease-fire line, which forcibly divides the island, dem-
onstrated that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots can 
live in harmony without animosity and within the rule of 
law of the European Union (EU), and that eight million 
crossings have occurred since then almost incident free; 
Whereas Cyprus’ accession to the EU in April 2004 has 
opened new avenues for the resolution of the division of 
the island and provided a greater sense of security for 
both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots; 
Whereas a resolution of the Cyprus issue will assist Turkey 
to proceed with its accession to the EU; and 
Whereas goodwill and mutual confidence must precede a 
peaceful and lasting resolution of the Cyprus problem: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 603 IH 
(1) wishing to accelerate the momentum for the 
reunification of the Republic of Cyprus, urges as a 
further step, the immediate withdrawal of the Turk-
ish troops of occupation; 
(2) calls upon the Government of the United 
States to advocate for the immediate withdrawal of 
Turkish troops from the occupied territories of the 
Republic of Cyprus; 
(3) expresses its strong support of the contents 
of the European Commission’s 2005 Progress Re-
port on Turkey, which states that Turkey— 
(A) continues to wrongfully impose its veto 
on the membership of Cyprus in certain inter-
national organizations; 
(B) insists in excluding Cyprus and Malta 
from the strategic cooperation between the Eu-
ropean Union (EU) and the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) in crisis manage-
ment thus hampering such cooperation; and 
(C) restricts Cyprus-flagged vessels from 
entering Turkish ports and Cypriot civilian air-
craft from using Turkish national airspace; and
•HRES 794 IH 
(2) commends all persons who are peacefully 
advocating for democracy and human rights in 
China; 
(3) calls upon those nations planning to partici-
pate in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing to insist 
that China comply with the United Nations Declara-
tion on Human Rights; 
(4) calls upon the Communist Government of 
China, its National People’s Congress, and any other 
groups appointed by the Communist Government of 
China to honor its pledge of a ‘‘high degree of au-
tonomy’’ made at the time of the Hong Kong rever-
sion in 1997, by permitting immediate elections for 
the Legislative Council of Hong Kong according to 
rules approved by the Hong Kong people through an 
election-law convention, referendum, or both, and by 
leaving all revisions of Hong Kong law to a legisla-
ture elected by universal suffrage; and 
(5) condemns the ongoing and egregious human 
rights abuses by the Communist Government of 
China and calls on that Government to— 
(A) reevaluate the official verdict on the 
June 4, 1989, Tiananmen pro-democracy activi-
ties and order formal investigations into the re-
