Written question asked by Lord Monson (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Tuesday, 18 July 2006.
Cyprus: Turkish Population
- Question
- Whether the present condition of the citizens of Turkish Cyprus is compatible with the provisions of the 1960 treaty concerning the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus (Cmnd. 1252), the 1960 Cyprus: Treaty of Guarantee (Cmnd. 1253) and the Basic Articles of the Constitution of Cyprus guaranteed therein.
- Answer
-
The 1960 treaties remain in force. But due to the political situation on the island, many of the provisions in the 1960 treaties relating to Turkish Cypriots do not currently apply in practice. Our policy is to bring the Turkish Cypriots closer to the EU and reduce disparities on the island in order to promote the reunification of Cyprus.
