This resolution calls on U.S. President, State Secretariat, the International Committee on Religious Freedom to assume urgent sanctions against Turkey, since religious freedom is deeply exploited in the Turkish Cyprus and historical sanctuaries are ruined.
The US congress may as well not have voted at all. They refer to the occupied Cyprus as Turkish Cyprus. There is no such thing given that there is only one Cyprus internationally recognised and accepted as EU member State. Once again the US congress decision means nothing unless they are willing to support it through action. The action am seeking is economic embargoes on Turkey .... but if they do that who is going to sell guns to Turks?
Hallo Humanist
The reporting is by "panorama" and they have a habit of using this terminology which does not imply recognition but expedites rapid reporting. The US congress are meticulous and a lengthier report will elucidate this.
