On July 8, 2026, the European Parliament approved a resolution aimed at addressing the sexual violence suffered by women and girls during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The resolution, championed by Greek Member of the European Parliament Eleonora Meleti, calls for accountability for the perpetrators and support for the victims of these crimes. The motion received overwhelming support, with 575 votes in favor, 33 against, and 43 abstentions, signifying a historic acknowledgment of the traumas endured.
During a press conference in Strasbourg, Meleti emphasized the importance of institutional recognition of the atrocities, stating that while the resolution may not heal the wounds of the victims, it signifies a step toward accountability. Other officials, including Lukás Furlas, described the passage of the resolution as a significant milestone for justice in the context of Cyprus's history. The crimes committed during the invasion, many of which had been overlooked for decades, are now being formally recognized as war crimes, highlighting the ongoing impact of this painful chapter in Cyprus's past.
