Election 2003: How the Turkish Cypriot community was prevented from Expressing Their Political Will
Report on irregularities that occurred during the December 2003, election process and during the subsequent formation of the government by a coalition of RTP and DP. The election process has resulted in the obstruction of the expression of the Turkish Cypriot community's will. This point should be well understood and repeated in all platforms since it affects the solution process to the Cyprus problem.

The Cyprus Action Network is a grassroots activist organization which seeks to improve the human rights conditions in Cyprus. Instead of concentrating on the political aspects of the Cyprus conflict, CAN wishes to address human rights violations which occur and are not noticed because of the status quo on the island. We deal with issues which range from freedom of the press, to minority rights and education in an effort to create a genuinly independent homeland, where all citizens enjoy freedom and respect of their human rights.

The Cyprus Action Network does not have a geographical basis; instead it utilizes the internet and a non-hierarchical structure to operate all over the globe. You may visit our contacts page to find out specific contact information for a CAN representative close to you. Membership is open, no dues are required, and all members enjoy equal rights and recognition within the network. Note that CAN does not discriminate on any basis.

The volunteers who form CAN participate actively in its quest to achieve its goals. They are kept up-to-date about current events in Cyprus, and they receive and propagate news from dependable Cypriot sources in order to focus international attention to human rights problems in Cyprus. Members act as points of contact in their region, actively establishing contacts with local organizations, and establishing connections with individuals or groups who wish to endorse the Cyprus Action Network and its goals.

This website, apart from providing information about the Cyprus Action Network, also serves as a central database of projects and reports of CAN members. CAN has varius ongoing projects, and has published reports and evidence about specific or generic human rights issues in Cyprus. You may view, download and distribute these documents freely, giving appropriate credit to the Cyprus Action Network and the specific author(s).
