[01] BRITISH MINISTER - CYPRUS QUESTION
British Minister for Europe Jim Murphy has said that achieving a
settlement for Cyprus is one of his own personal priorities and
expressed Londons commitment to support UN efforts for a Cyprus
solution.
In an article posted on the Foreign Office website, Murphy welcomed the
opening of the Ledra Street crossing point, one of Nicosias main
commercial streets, but noted that progress must not stop there.
This confidence building measure is an achievement that should be
celebrated, but it must be built on. The focus must now be on making
sure that the constructive atmosphere in Cyprus continues, and that
fully-fledged negotiations, under UN auspices, are able to start soon,
Murphy said.
In his article, entitled ``Cyprus: reopening of Ledra Street``, Murphy
expressed hope to visit Cyprus in the coming months and to be able to
walk through the newly opened Ledra Street crossing point.
