U.K MP'S IN TRNC
In order to
prepare a comprehensive report on the Cyprus issue, a group of British MP's
from the U.K Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee arrived in the TRNC
yesterday (10 November). Upon their arrival, the British MP's had separate
meetings with President Rauf Denktas, Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Talat, the
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Serdar Denktas,
National Unity Party (UBP) Leader, Dervis Eroglu, and the Leader of the
Peace and Democracy Movement (BDH), Mustafa Akinci.
During their
meeting with President Denktas, the British MP's asked the President several
questions on the latest developments in the Cyprus issue and in addition to
responding to these questions, President Denktas also gave the British MP's
a "Talking Points" document outlining the views of the Turkish Cypriot side.
Speaking after
the meeting, President Denktas stressing that no one had the right to
forcefully impose the so-called "Cyprus Government" on the TRNC, said a
future settlement in Cyprus would only be possible if it was based on an
equal partnership in all fields between the two sides.
Prime Minister
Talat met with the British MP's, headed by John Maples and including Fabian
Hamilton, Andrew Mackay, Bill Olner and Greg Pope, in a dinner last night
(10 November). The British High Commissioner, Lyn Parker, and the British
High Commission's Secretary In Charge of Turkish Cypriot Affairs, Jill
Morris, also attended the dinner.
The British
MP's also met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Serdar Denktas, and no statement was issued after the meeting.
Speaking after
their meeting with the National Unity Party (UBP) Leader, Dervis Eroglu, and
the Leader of the Peace and Democracy Movement (BDH), Mustafa Akinci, John
Maples said the purpose of this visit was to understand why the Greek
Cypriot side voted 'no' and the Turkish Cypriot side voted 'yes' to the
Annan Plan.
