  congress makes the following findings:
  
  (1) the security of partners and allies in the eastern mediterranean region is critical to the security of the united states and europe.
  
  (2) greece is a valuable member of the north atlantic treaty organization (nato) and a key pillar of stability in the eastern mediterranean.
  
  (3) ısrael is a steadfast ally of the united states and has been designated a “major non-nato ally” and “major strategic partner”.
  
  (4) cyprus is a key strategic partner and signed a statement of ıntent with the united states on november 6, 2018, to enhance bilateral security cooperation.
  
  (5) the countries of greece, cyprus, and ısrael have participated in critical trilateral summits to improve cooperation on energy and security issues.
  
  (6) secretary of state mike pompeo participated in the trilateral summit among ısrael, greece, and cyprus on march 20, 2019.
  
  (7) all four countries oppose any action in the eastern mediterranean and the aegean sea that could challenge stability, violate international law, or undermine good neighborly relations, and in a joint declaration on march 21, 2019, agreed to “defend against external malign influences in the eastern mediterranean and the broader middle east”.
  
  (8) the recent discovery of potentially the region’s largest natural gas field off the egyptian coast and the newest discoveries of natural gas off the cypriot coast could represent a significant positive development for the eastern mediterranean and the middle east, enhancing the region’s strategic energy significance.
  
  (9) turkish government officials have expressed an intent to purchase the s–400 system from the russian federation, which could trigger the imposition of mandatory sanctions under the countering america’s adversaries through sanctions act (public law 115–44).
  
  (10) ıt is in the national security interests of the united states to promote, achieve, and maintain energy security among, and through cooperation with, allies.
  
  (11) natural gas developments in the eastern mediterranean have the potential to provide economic gains and contribute to energy security in the region and europe, as well as support european efforts to diversify away from natural gas supplied by the russian federation.
  
  (12) the soon to be completed trans adriatic pipeline is a critical component of the southern gas corridor and the european union’s efforts to diversify energy resources.
  
  (13) the proposed eastern mediterranean pipeline if commercially viable would provide for energy diversification in accordance with the european union’s third energy package of reforms.
  
  (14) the united states acknowledges the achievements and importance of the binational ındustrial research and development foundation (bırd) and the united states-ısrael binational science foundation (bsf) and supports continued multiyear funding to ensure the continuity of the programs of the foundations.
  
  (15) the united states has welcomed greece’s allocation of 2 percent of its gross domestic product (gdp) to defense in accordance with commitments made at the 2014 nato summit in wales.

  (17) the energy exploration in the republic of cyprus’s exclusive economic zone and territorial waters—
  
  (a) furthers united states interests by providing a potential alternative to russian gas for united states allies and partners; and
  
  (b) should not be impeded by other sovereign states.

  (23) despite robust economic and security relations with the united states, the republic of cyprus has been subject to a united states prohibition on the export of defense articles and services since 1987.

  (25) at least 40,000 turkish troops are stationed in the occupied part of cyprus with some weapons procured from the united states through mainland turkey.
  
  (26) while the united states has, as a matter of policy, avoided the provision of defense articles and services to the republic of cyprus, the government of cyprus has, in the past, sought to obtain defense articles from other countries, including countries, such as russia, that pose challenges to united states interests around the world.
