Famagusta

Debate between Martin Vickers and Matthew Offord

Monday 16th November 2015 Commons Chamber

[Martin Vickers]

Yes, of course, it takes two parties—two to tango, as it were. Both sides must be willing to come to an agreement.

[Dr Offord]

Although there is some history of Turkish troops invading the island, that was 36 years ago. It is time for them to go now. Even their behaviour on our visit, when we were followed by security forces who photographed us, sought our names and determined when we were leaving and what we were doing, shows that the Turkish Government have not really changed.

[Martin Vickers]

Yes, there was a slightly sinister feel to some parts of our trip as a result of being followed and photographed by the Turkish authorities.
