Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, New York, Tel. 1-917-699-9935
WHERE: Turkish Embassy 2525 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC
WHEN: July 20, 2008, Sunday, 2PM-5PM
The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) will be demonstrating outside the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC to demand an end to the ongoing criminal Turkish military-occupation or land grab of Cyprus initiated by the Turkish government by sheer, brute military-invasion on July 20, 1974. Hundreds of thousands of Cypriots remain refugees following Turkey's systematic campaign of rapes, terror, bombings, burnings and forced displacement. Over one thousand missing Cypriots, reportedly used for barbaric scientific experiments by the Turks, remain unaccounted.
Turkey is an unrepentant human-rights-abuser and perpetrator of Genocide Against Pontians and Armenians, and today continues its genocidal policies by targeting Cypriot land in a methodical program of 'Turkification' by illegal Turkish settlers.
Join us on July 20th outside the Turkish Embassy to remind them that even one foreign soldier of occupation in Cyprus is tens of thousands of times too many. Come to Washington DC to reaffirm a commitment for full justice and recognition for Turkey's Crimes.
WE CANNOT FORGET! WE WILL NOT FORGET!
Our action is open to any and all who believe the time has come to draw public attention to the evil of the continuing Turkish crimes.
Get involved! Get on the bus to Protest the Turkish Embassy, please visit our homepage (www.cyprusactionnetwork.org) to purchase tickets, to download our color Protest Turkish Embassy protest poster, and to contribute.
