The UK strongly supports the UN-facilitated process for a comprehensive settlement,
which remains the best way to address the complex issues relating to the division
of Cyprus, including issues of property ownership and access. We have no current plans
to make representations to the Government of the Republic of Cyprus on the issue of
proposed developments in the Vasiliko area. The Treaty of Guarantee (1960) provides
for the three Guarantor powers to consult in order to guarantee the independence,
territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus. The UK meets its current
obligations under the Treaty through supporting the UN-facilitated settlement process,
which is aimed at achieving a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality
as defined by the relevant Security Council resolutions.
