Blair urges parties in Cyprus to return to negotiating table

by Kyriacos Tsioupras

London, Jul 10 (CNA)--British Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed hope that the parties in Cyprus will return to the negotiating table with a view to reaching a settlement to the Cyprus question.

Blair, who was replying to question by MP Tom Cox in the House of Commons, also said that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan ''recently made it clear that the UN proposals that we strongly supported, remain on the table''.

''There is a strong feeling among the Turkish Cypriots that they want to be part of the EU and to have the benefits of membership'', Blair noted, adding ''we will continue our discussions with both the Greek and the Turkish governments to see how we can bring about a settlement''.

''I therefore very much hope that we are able to mount a constructive attempt to get the parties back talking to ensure that we can reach a settlement on this issue which would be beneficial for all the people on the island of Cyprus'', he added.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied its northern third.
