Solving the Cyprus Property Conundrum
ECHR ruling a victory for common sense and Cyprus
We need your help to bring about the immediate and unconditional end to all embargoes levied against North Cyprus and its citizens. Below are details of Embargoed! campaigns you can get involved with:
Support the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Turkish Cypriot People:
Please read this Charter and support it by signing our petition. Then send the link to all your family and friends to also sign. We need as many people as possible to sign.
Equal rights for Turkish Cypriots! Lobby your local politician to sign our Charter petition: Use this sample letter to ask your local councillor or your local politician (Member of Parliament (MP) or Councillor) to sign the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Turkish Cypriot People to show their commitment to equal political, economic and social rights for everyone in Cyprus.

We want direct flights!: Lobby the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to enable direct flights to and from North Cyprus. Use this sample letter to tell Dr. Assad Kotaite – President of the Council of ICAO – that everyone from the UN to the UK Government has pledged to do it, so what’s the delay?
End Media Bias on Cyprus: “Cyprus has been split into the Greek Cypriot-controlled south and the Turkish-occupied north since Turkey invaded in 1974 in the wake of an abortive coup by supporters of union with Greece.” If you are fed up with seeing these types of biased media commentary, then use this sample letter sample letter to tell the offending media that they need to create a more balanced statement on the Cyprus conflict and keep reminding them until they change!
Lobby your MP to end Turkish Cypriot isolation: Help us to remind world leaders of their unfulfilled promises to end the embargoes against North Cyprus. Use this sample letter to ask your local MP or, for EU citizens, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and other politicians to take action on this issue.
Tell Your Story!:
Tell Your Story! Whether you live, work or study in North Cyprus, tell us how you are being affected by the embargoes. We will then add your details to the My Story section. Click here to upload your story and photo.
The My Story section will demonstrate to the world how embargoes are negatively affecting real people every single day. While the world chooses to ignore their existence and fundamental rights, Turkish Cypriots, by virtue of their ethnicity, are condemned to apartheid conditions in their own homeland.
