Having heard the statements in the debate and taking
note of the report of the Special Political Committee
on the question of Cyprus
1. Calls upon all States to respect the sovereignty,
independence, territorial integrity and non-alignment
of the Republic of Cyprus and to refrain from all acts
and interventions directed against it;
2. Urges the speedy withdrawal of all foreign armed
forces and foreign military presence and personnel
from the Republic of Cyprus, and the cessation of all
foreign interference in its affairs;
3. Considers that the constitutional system of the
Republic of Cyprus concerns the Greek Cypriot and
Turkish Cypriot communities;
4. Commends the contacts and negotiations taking
place on an equal footing, with the good offices of the
Secretary-General, between the representatives of the
two communities, and calls for their continuation with
a view to reaching freely a mutually acceptable political
settlement, based on their fundamental and legitimate
rights;

their homes in safety and calls upon the parties concerned
to undertake urgent measures to that end;

of implementing the provisions of the present resolution,
thus ensuring to the Republic of Cyprus its
fundamental right to independence, sovereignty and
territorial integrity;
7. Requests the Secretary-General to continue to
provide United Nations humanitarian assistance to all
parts of the population of Cyprus and caUs upon all
States to contribute to that effort;

Cyprus, which may be strengthened if necessary;

In year 2009, 35 years after the adoption of this resolution (and many more), Turkey continuous to violate it.
Having that in mind, should Turkey be accepted in the EU?
