PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CYPRUS (No. 2) (18 June 1998)

That this House notes with increasing alarm the threats of armed attack being made by Turkey against the Republic of Cyprus; calls on Her Majesty's Government as one of the guarantor powers under the treaty of guarantee to make a clear and unequivocal statement of their total opposition to such threats against a sovereign state and a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations; and fully endorses the right of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus to take whatever measures they judge to be necessary to protect their people and to defend their territory against threats of external aggression.
