A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution condemns Turkey for its continued and illegal occupation of Cyprus. It highlights actions by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, such as bringing in illegal settlers and violating international law and treaties. The text calls for Turkey to immediately withdraw its occupying troops from the island. It also urges Turkey to cooperate in finding missing people, including four United States citizens. Finally, the measure encourages President Trump to make resolving the Cyprus problem a top foreign policy priority.
