NEW YORK, NY –
For more than half a century, the people of Cyprus have lived with the consequences of a division that remains unresolved, reminding the world that injustice left unchallenged does not fade with time.
“Turkey is actively undermining the United States and its Western Allies,” stresses Philip Christopher, President of PSEKA, in a statement, calling for an end to the 52-year occupation of the northern part of Cyprus by Turkish troops.
The full statement follows below:
“Turkey, the New Iran”
As we celebrate Easter, we remind you to pray for the people of Cyprus. 160,000 refugees in their own homeland waiting to return to their churches and ancestral homes.
As Iran and their proxies take a beating from American and Israeli forces, Turkey is waiting to assume the role of Iran. For 52 long years, 36% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union and a strong strategic partner of America, is under occupation by Turkish troops.
Turkey is actively undermining the United States and its Western Allies. It’s time for Turkey to withdraw its occupation troops and put an end to the 52- year occupation!
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere”.
Happy Easter!
Philip Christopher
President
