Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Talat To Meet British Foreign Secretary Straw Next Thursday

NICOSIA (CIHAN) - The Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Talat will be received by the British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw in London next Thursday.
Prime Minister Talat will leave for Britain on Wednesday but his official schedule has not yet been released to the press.
Diplomatic sources stated that the Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Talat could possibly be received by German and French government members in the near future.
The visit of the Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Talat is considered to be very important in order to obtain the lifting of embargoes on Turkish Cyprus and the ending of the isolation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC), which is only officially recognized by Turkey. The KKTC government is hoping to obtain these objectives with the advent of the new era arisen from the rejection of the UN-backed Cyprus peace plan by Greek Cypriots in the April 24 referendum.
