WRITTEN DECLARATION No. 250
This written declaration commits only the members who have signed it
The undersigned, members of the Assembly,
1. Shocked by the murders of two unarmed Greek Cypriots, last August, who simply demonstrated for the re-unification of Cyprus and the restoration of human rights in Cyprus including the right of freedom of movement of all Cypriots throughout their country;
2. Condemn those murders and the wounding of many Cypriot citizens and of two members of the United Nations peace-keeping force, caused by the indiscriminate violence used by Turkish occupying forces;
3. Strongly believe that demilitarisation of Cyprus can establish safety and peace all over the island and can achieve a just and lasting solution of the Cyprus problem,
4. Urge all parties concerned to work sincerely and intensively for a peaceful solution of the Cyprus problem based on United Nations resolutions and safeguarding human rights for all Cypriots on the island.
