Their property has been illegally seized. their land has been settled. and many of their religious and cultural treasures have been damaged. destroyed. or illegally transferred abroad. Turkeys military hold over northern Cyprus has persisted over three decades despite condemnation by the international community and nearly 100 U.N. resolutions requesting the withdrawal of all foreign forces from the island. the return of Greek Cypriot refugees to their homes and properties and above all. respect for the sovereignty. independence. territorial integrity and unity of the Republic of Cyprus.
