On July 20th, 1974, the country of Turkey secretly invaded the Island of Cyprus. Severing the northern side from the south, re-locating tens of thousands of Greek Cypriots out of and off of their homes and lands, the Turkish government, through military force, engaged in the criminal act of systematically cleansing the Northern region of Cyprus and illegally seizing control of properties.
This "pseudo-state" is not recognised by anyone worldwide, not the EU, not the UN, and the reason they are trying to bring these artists is to provide them with some kind of recognition.
It is unrecognised for their refusal to commit to the endorsement of Human Rights and to adhere to the recommendations of the UN.
Many cases have been brought to the European Court of Human Rights, and many refugees have been awarded millions of euros as reimbursement for the Illegal Use of their land.
We DO NOT ask the support of the entertainment industry in joining our political movement toward HUMAN RIGHTS.
We DO, however, DEMAND that the entertainment industry not cloud our movement with their rich and famous performers.
Why is this petition so necessary?
Because our concerns of the ongoing and unresolved criminal status of the unrecognized TRNC is being stifled as they are trying to use these celebrities as propaganda to assuage any international uneasiness of these regional differences.
These celebrities are not fully disclosed about the property theft, the ongoing law suits, nor the suffrage the region has been going through.
They are duped into believing that everything is okay, and everything clearly is not okay.
This territory is ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED and until the matter is UNANIMOUSLY resolve and these resolutions are endorsed and adopted by the EU and the UN, celebrities should not perform in presently OCCUPIED CYPRUS.
We, the undersigned, call upon the representatives of performing artists such as, but not limited to, the William Morris Agency, to immediately stop booking engagements in the UNLAWFULLY OCCUPIED and INTERNATIONALLY UNRECOGNIZED region of N. CYPRUS called the TRNC.
