answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2014 answer text <p>This information is not held centrally and to collate it would incur disproportionate cost. However, we are aware that the then Foreign Secretary, the right Hon. Member for Blackburn (North West) (Mr Straw), met Turkish Cypriot leader Mr Talat in London in July 2004. Mr Talat also met the then Prime Minister, the right Hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath (Mr Brown), in London in December 2009. Ministers have frequently met elected leaders of the Turkish Cypriot community when visiting Cyprus.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 28/07/2014 11:09:51 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Warsi on 9 July (WA 44), whether their "policy on recognition" remains a negative one; and how such a policy contributes to "renewed efforts to reach a comprehensive settlement".

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p>The UK recognises the Republic of Cyprus. Like all other states, except Turkey, we do not recognise the self-proclaimed &quot;Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus&quot;. It is for the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities to reach an agreement on how to live together on their shared island. It is on that basis that the UN has supported the two communities in their negotiations since 1977. This approach is in line with our international commitments, and we will continue to support UN efforts to facilitate a comprehensive and lasting settlement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 24/07/2014 14:27:30 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Warsi on 9 July (WA 44), how their "full support for the goal of reunification" of Cyprus creates a practical working basis for a solution; and what consideration they have given within that policy in respect of resolving the legacy of EOKA-B activity prior to the Turkish intervention in 1974.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p>The leaders of the two Cypriot communities agreed the basis for a solution in their Joint Declaration of 11 February 2014. We fully support them in turning that set of principles and parameters into the reality of a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality.</p><p>The UK’s approach on Cyprus is unrelated to the past activities of EOKA-B. The British Government recognises the difficult history of Cyprus, but we will continue to urge both sides to look forward towards a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 24/07/2014 14:28:02 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
