Since its inception Lobby for Cyprus has placed at the core of its policies the inalienable right to return of the refugees to their homes and lands.
Lobby is especially delighted to have become one of the ten founding members of the European Union of Exiles and Expelled People. This Union consists of a many national groups throughout the EU, all of which demand the right of all refugees to return to lands they were expelled from in the last 100 years. There are German, Estonian, Finnish and an Italian group. There are also Cypriot, Pontic Greek and Armenian groups, all of which demand the right to return to lands lost to Turkey. The Union is currently lobbying the European Parliament to secure the establishment of a right to return memorial day within the EU and the various founder members have agreed to work together to support the principle of the right to return of all fellow members.
