[01] Cyprus Ship Owners brief Commonwealth of Turkish embargo`s negative
effects
Cyprus Ship Owners Union has briefed Foreign and Commonwealth officials
of the negative effects Turkey's embargo has on Cyprus shipping.
According to a press release issued Tuesday on the part of the Union, its
President George Mouskas had a working lunch with Foreign and Commonwealth
Office officials Hinesh Rajani and Lydia Strachman, briefing them over
the problems caused by the on-going Turkish embargo on all Cyprus flag
vessels.
He further handed them a letter addressed to British Foreign Secretary
William Hague in which he urges him and the British government to "do
what they can to help Cyprus, by using their good relations with Turkey,
to try and lift this embargo, which will be beneficial not just to Cyprus
and Turkey, but to the European Union as a whole".
