Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jack Straw could pull out of his planned visit to Cyprus over a row with the government about where he plans to meet the Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, according to British High Commission sources. However, he may be prepared to insist that flags and emblems be removed during any visit.
The row began when the Republic of Cyprus government made it clear in public that it would object to Straw meeting Talat at Talat’s offices along with the ‘symbols of occupation’, since these are also his offices as the president of the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus."
