Cyprus
EDM number 1132 in 1990-91, proposed by Keith Speed on 15/07/1991.
That this House recalls that when independence was granted to Cyprus in 1960, sovereignty was transferred to the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots jointly as political equals; recalls that the 1960 constitution broke down in 1963 and is now defunct; notes that the United Nations Secretary General has stated that the relationship between the two communities in Cyprus is not one of majority and minority but one of equals; further notes that United Nations Security Council Resolution 649 calls upon the two peoples of Cyprus to co-operate on an equal footing; believes that the Greek Cypriot side's reluctance to recognise the equal political status of the Turkish Cypriot side is obstructing the way to a federal solution, since federations can be formed only between political equals; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to treat the two peoples of Cyprus and their respective leaders on a basis of complete equality without any further delay.
This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
