Cyprus - Genocide Of Turkish Cypriots

EDM number 276 in 2000-01, proposed by John D Taylor on 31/01/2001.

That this House calls upon Her Majesty's Government to recognise the attempted genocide committed against the Turkish Cypriots by the Greek Cypriot militia in 1963-64, 1967 and 1974, well documented in 'The Genocide Files' by Harry Scott-Gibbons and in official British documents and newspaper reports at the time; considers that since those massacres of Turkish Cypriots were committed by Greek Cypriot forces pursuant to a written plan, 'the Akritas Plan', Articles 2(a) (b) and (c) of the UN Genocide Convention are clearly satisfied; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to take action to bring to justice persons responsible who are still alive and living in southern Cyprus.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
