What the petition asks
In July 1974, Turkish forces twice invaded and captured the island of Cyprus and now illegally occupy 40% of it. Cyprus is a member of the EU and Turkey wish to join. Countries that occupy member states illegally cannot join the EU but Turkey will be allowed to unless it is vetoed.
