The UK Government, along with the rest of the international community except Turkey, has a long-standing policy of not recognising the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (“TRNC”). This is in line with UN Security Council resolutions. The Government agrees with the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot leaders that reunification is the best solution for both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Consequently we welcome the recent good progress that has been made in working towards a settlement, and applaud the agreement between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders on 21 March. We also welcome their joint statements of 23 May and 1 July, which we endorse in full. The Government supports both leaders in working towards their goal of a reunited, indivisible Cyprus that is acceptable to both communities and encourages them to move forward towards fully fledged negotiations as soon as possible.



The Government supports the commitment made by the EU in 2004, and re-affirmed in 2007, to take measures aimed at reducing the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot community of northern Cyprus in pursuit of a settlement. Reducing this isolation, by working towards the economic integration of the island, lessening the economic disparity between the two sides and bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the EU, will contribute to creating the conditions in which re-unification is more likely.

They forgot to say 'we have signed a moratorium with the GC's ensuring that we will not under any circumstances recognise the TRNC, we will not lift the embargoes thus ensuring the continued hardship of the TC's which will facilitate it's capitualtion thus manipulating it in to the union. No one escapes the borg - resistence is futile, We will assimilate you'

hi guys



yes i got the same email this morning, responding to the e-pettion i posted on this forum some while back so i would guess everyone who signed it will get a email eventually and their repsonse is very conservative considering they signed the pact with south cyprus that they will only agree to a solution of unification and that is all not reconising the north as it is and they agree with the 2004 plan what rubbish!!!!

regards

It was a typical Brown reply an email that told you nothing
