Beginning with a report by Helena Smith of the GUARDIAN UK on July 5 th, an avalanche of international news reports have been issued citing the illegal Turkish invasion and illegal Turkish-occupation of Cyprus in regards claims of Lopez’s illegal visit to Turkish-Occupied Cyprus. We also have gained the support of Greek-Cypriot advocacy groups in Cyprus and around the world, below follows extensive links documenting all our successful efforts to send out a cry for help worldwide for justice for CYPRUS. Moreover the call for justice was made by two Greek-Cypriot Refugee women, Mrs. Fanoulla Argyrou who wrote the letter “Dr. Ms Jennifer Lopez, 800 Greek-Cypriot women were raped by Turks in 1974…” which has been translated following massive demand in Greek and Spanish and circulated in three languages was quoted by the Guardian and international media syndication, and Refugee mother and President of CYPRUS' MOVEMENT OF REFUGEES & DISPLACED MOTHERS Markella Isaia-Chakka's letter to Jennifer Lopez has made such an impact that it was also translated in French.
The campaign starts to permeate in the French-speaking world, as the Agence France-Presse has syndicated the story, and it has also been reported by the largest French TV network TF1.

GRASS-ROOTS POWER: THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS AND FRIENDS
Despite the millions spent on high profile public relations specialists and media agents to bring the American star Jennifer Lopez by Turkey in order to falsely “legitimize” the crimes against our people and the theft of our homeland, it was our grass-roots, our ordinary people who turned it on them and instead the entire world was reminded of the truth. The truth that Turkey is guilty of crimes against humanity that include the illegal-invasion and ongoing illegal-occupation of our people, our heritage, our culture. This is a power that comes from the beating heart of our ordinary people. We cannot, of course, ignore the world around us, nor fail to think clearly about how best to tackle the challenges ahead. We owe that to ourselves and to future generations. The bottom line is this: Stay active, speak out, stand strong.
Many thanks to our friends and supporters on the tough road to the final victory—worldwide recognition of the Turkish crimes perpetrated against the Greek-Cypriot people and full restoration and full restitution. In other words: Justice.
