Closed Turkish occupying forces out of the Cyprus

Closed on

The Republic of Cyprus is the only UN recognised part of the island, yet the Northern part of the island is still illegally occupied by 30-40000 Turkish troops with now approximately 100000 illegal Turkish settlers have moved to the island under the pseudo name of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, only recognised by Turkey. The Republic of Cyprus as an EU and Commonwealth Member, British support is needed to pressure Turkey to remove their troops and settlers from European soil if they ever want to enter the EU family, as well as being in breach of their role as a guarantor of the Republic as Britain is also meant to be.
