Cyprus: Internally Displaced Persons
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Cypriot authorities on (a) restoring dispossessed Turkish Cypriots to their former homes and (b) paying them compensation following rejection by the Republic of Cyprus of the UN plan for a settlement; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The issue of property in Cyprus is complex, with many Cypriots from both communities unable to return to their homes. Ultimately, we believe that this difficult issue is only likely to be fully resolved in the context of a comprehensive settlement. In this context, we continue to urge both sides to engage constructively with the UN to enable settlement negotiations to start as soon as possible.
