Nicosia, Jul 20 (CNA) -- Cyprus remembers and pays tribute today to all those who lost their life in defence of their homeland during the 1974 invasion of the island by Turkey, whose troops still illegally occupy 37 per cent of Cyprus territory despite repeated UN Security Council resolutions calling for their withdrawal.

At the same time, in the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island Ankara's puppet regime is organising military parades and Turkey continues with its provocative violations of the Republic's airspace.

[02] Cyprus problem - US Ambassador to Greece

Speaking yetsreday at the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the US Senate, Miller said Cyprus' accession to the EU would proceed, adding Turkey's effort to link the accession of Cyprus with its own accession, has failed and pointed out "if there would be a solution to the Cyprus issue, then Turkey's accession to the EU would be more plausible".

Nicosia, Jul 20 (CNA) -- On the occasion of the 27th commemoration of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, New York Congressman Eliot Engel released the results of a study produced by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress, that highlights some of the many negative effects that Turkey's occupation of Cyprus has had on Turkey.

The report, detailed a list of the laws passed by the US Congress over the last 27 years that have criticised Turkey for its occupation of Cyprus, while Congressman Engel has said "the end of Turkey's occupation of Cyprus would greatly improve Turkey's relations with the United States as well as with the European Union and the United Nations."
