FOLLOWING A REQUEST BY MR CANDOUNAS - THIS VIDEO MATERIAL HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN (PUBLIC VIEWING IS DISABLED) PENDING THE DECISION BY THE BRITISH HIGH COURT EXPECTED IN OCTOBER 2009

This was the clear message that dominated Lobbying activities during March 2009 which has seen the Cyprus cause boosted by weighty political support from all three main parties in the UK, from both Houses of Parliament and from the UKs Cypriot community itself.

THOUSANDS OF CYPRIOTS MEET TO DEMAND AN END TO TURKISH OCCUPATION

UK Cypriots and British politicians across the political spectrum turned out in force to condemn Turkey's continuing illegal military occupation of the northern part of Cyprus, and to demand that the UK Government, as a guarantor power of Cyprus's independence, act decisively to press Turkey to withdraw its occupying army and to work actively for a solution of the island's division which will be for the benefit of the people of Cyprus.

The day of protest was the culmination of a series of events organised by the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK to mark the tragic events of July 1974 in Cyprus, namely the criminal coup by the military junta then ruling Greece and the illegal invasion of Cyprus by the Turkish army which followed.
The rally started with a picketing outside the Turkish embassy and a march through central London and culminated with rallying cries in Trafalgar Square from President of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, Peter Droussiotis, British politicians and main speaker, Stefanos Stefanou, Cyprus Government Spokesman, all of whom called upon Turkey to match the good will and determination shown by new President of Cyprus, Demetris Christofias, in his efforts to reach a just , viable and lasting settlement which will reunite Cyprus in the interest of all of the island's people, Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Maronites, Armenians and Latins.




Earlier, en route to Trafalgar Square from the Turkish Embassy, where Mr Droussiotis handed in a letter of protest to the Turkish Ambassador demanding goodwill from his government, a Federation Executive delegation delivered a letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown, urging his government to use its influence over Turkey and to fulfil its obligations as a Guarantor Power of the independence and territorial integrity of Cyprus.
