Written evidence submitted by Dr Ahmet
Djavit An
As I heard that you, as the Foreign Affairs
Committee of the British Parliament, are going to review your
government's policy on the Cyprus question and you asked for memorandums
on the subject to be conveyed to your Committee, I send attached
a recent study of mine which I prepared on the political situation
in Northern Cyprus and on the status of the mainland Turkish settlers.
It covers the period up to the last general elections and there
is no great change since then.
I hope it will give you an insider's look at
one of the main obstacles of the ongoing interference to the internal
affairs of the Turkish Cypriot community which are made a minority
in their own homeland. You have to keep in mind that occupation
and the settlers question created by Turkey is one of the main
obstacles of the current impasse.
I am ready to give you further information about
the other aspects of the Cyprus problem if you wish.
