Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on Turkey.
Turkey
I apologise and I will wind up. I simply implore the Government to take a more enlightened perspective than the politically myopic Chancellor Merkel, who obviously believes that the way to assist in finding a solution for Cyprus is to visit the Greek Cypriots and lecture Turkey from afar. She did not arrive in Cyprus to support the ongoing talks; rather, she went to stick her oar in before they fail. Berlin's only interest is to keep Cyprus as an anti-Turkish card and I hope that the coalition Government will acknowledge that.
