They're not your "allies" but your aliases! You are nothing but Turks. And, Turks do not belong in Cyprus.

U.S. Congress House of Representatives adopted a resolution on urgent protection and rescue of churches and historical places in the territories of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

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?

Humanist,

Those are not the actual words from the US Congress but from some funky lack of journalistic ethics reporter putting his/her spin to it.!

Turkey slams U.S. resolution on Cyprus

Ankara. Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the resolution passed in the U.S. House of Representatives could undermine UN solution process in Cyprus and efforts for rapprochement between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots, Xinhua informed.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday "calling for the protection of religious sites and artifacts from and in Turkish-occupied areas of northern Cyprus as well as for general respect for religious freedom," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The resolution was prepared in a biased way by only taking into consideration the allegations of the Greek Cypriot party. The resolution included many mistake of facts that may undermine reliability of the House of Representatives, the statement said.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkey militarily intervened and occupied the north of the island following a short- lived coup by a group of Greek officers.
Talks on solving the Cyprus problem started in September 2008, with the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot community leaders committing themselves to working towards a "bi-communal, bi-zonal federation with political equality, as defined by relevant Security Council resolutions." The two sides, however, are still far apart on a peace accord re-unifying the island.

That's because the US Congress were voting on facts and not on opinions, which may well explain why they had no interest in opinions, but only facts.!

[bigOz]

Yeah! Sure! So how do they propose implementing their decision???

[BirKibrisli]

If only some TCs joined the Makarios guard to help quell the Greek coup… the TCs would’ve become the heroes of Cyprus today!

It’s amazing how one wrong split-second decision can mark the rest of your life…

What??? The Hyena is attacking the Fox and this Realist(!) expects the Lamb to come to the resque....
