Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, as a guarantor power under the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, they are aware of the Akritis and Ifestos plans advocated by EOAK-B between 1963 and 1974; and what assessment they have made of whether the situation has substantially changed since then.
The British Government recognises the suffering endured by the Turkish and Greek Cypriots as a result of intercommunal violence between 1963 and 1974, a difficult period of history that continues to have an impact on the island today. We believe that there is now genuine hope for a lasting settlement, and will continue to support both communities and the UN in facilitating that Settlement.
