MORPHOU, CYPRUS

Motion Text

That this House expresses its extreme concern at the decision reported in the Kibris newspaper, that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has declared occupied Morphou as a tourist area and intends to develop an area of 3,000 donums for this purpose; expresses further concern at the announcement that the TRNC intends to encourage further Turkish settlers in this area by distributing to them 1,500 donums of Greek Cypriot owned land; believes that these unwelcome plans will make the possibility of a fair and just settlement in Cyprus even more difficult; and calls on the TRNC to cancel these measures.
