On 8 July 2026, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on the Impact of the 1974 Turkish Invasion on Cypriot Women and Girls and the Crimes Committed by Turkish Forces and Consequences on Gender Equality. The Resolution acknowledges that Cypriot women’s experiences of violence during 1974 are often being excluded from official recognition and thus calls to document testimonies and provide support for survivors. Its transformative potential will ultimately depend on whether this historical awareness becomes incorporated into Cyprus’s public memory of the conflict.
