Cyprus: call for action

Scan page 3

THE declaration of independence by the government of Rauf Denktash in Northern Cyprus is a very serious escalation of the 1974 invasion by Turkish troops.

It is very worrying that the division of Cyprus by this means puts back the day of reunification and real independence for Cyprus, and despite the vague protestations of the British government it is clear that the declaration of UDI could only have taken place with the connivance of the junta in Ankara led by General Evren.

It is very important that there be rapid action by the Labour Parties in North London and their MPs to argue against the UDI declaration and for the reunification of the island in accordance with the 1960 Treaty and the UN resolutions that have been passed on several occasions. A suitable wording would be:

•That this •... Party condemns the declaration of UDI by the Government of Rauf Denktash in the Northern part of Cyprus and affirms its belief that Cyprus should be reunited as soon as possible.

Genuine reunification can only take place when all foreign YTS all day including.
