“this Saturday marks the 28th anniversary of the invasion of Cyprus that still keeps the island divided. To mark this tragic event, today at 5 p.m. at 2255 Rayburn, I am hosting a viewing of the award-winning film ``Beyond Division: Reunifying the Republic of Cyprus.'' It captures the Cypriot people's suffering resulting from the brutal invasion of their country and the hope for a brighter future when their island is no longer divided. It is shameful that a fellow NATO member continues to occupy one-third of Cyprus. A settlement to the Cyprus issue must be reached by the end of the year, when the island is expected to join the rest of the European territory. Mr. Speaker, I invite all of my colleagues to watch this award-winning film and learn about the ongoing tragedy of the occupation of Cyprus, and also about the prospects of reunification and the EU accession. I hope to see Members today at 5 p.m. at 2255 Rayburn.”
