A Foreign Office spokesman reaffirmed the British government's support for a negotiated solution to the Cyprus problem.


However, he refrained from answering CNA's question whether the West's mobilization against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine could lead to a tougher stance against Turkey in light of the invasion and continued occupation of Cyprus.

To this question and whether Secretary of State Liz Truss' recent call to the West (in a speech in Washington) to stand up to authoritarian regimes also applied to Turkey, the spokesman replied: [BR][BR]"We remain supportive of a negotiated solution in Cyprus and we continue to work with the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, as well as the United Nations, to achieve that."
