Summary

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the status quo on Cyprus must end and the island and its people must be reunited in a bi-zonal, bi-communal federal Cyprus, with full consideration of United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions and international treaties; (2) the accession of Cyprus to the European Union (EU) could act as a further catalyst for the solution of the Cyprus problem; and (3) EU membership for Cyprus should be strongly supported and all Cypriots should be urged to support and encourage efforts to bring the Republic into the EU.

Encourages negotiations between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders to continue until a comprehensive settlement has been achieved.

Calls for U.S. agencies that support UN efforts to facilitate a settlement to pursue new initiatives that will help promote and achieve reunification, reconciliation, stability, and prosperity on Cyprus.
