HC Deb 12 May 1993 vol 224 c502W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he last discussed the Cyprus issue with the Turkish Government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

When my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs met Mr. Cetin in London on 23 November, he made clear our expectation that Turkey would use her significant influence to encourage the Turkish Cypriot community to work actively towards a settlement to the dispute. We use every opportunity to reiterate to the Turks our desire for a solution to the Cyprus problem and will do so again in the run-up to the resumed intercommunal talks in New York on 24 May.
