More from me on Cyprus

In my last blog post I mentioned that I'd had the opportunity on Tuesday to raise the issue of Cyprus in the House of Commons for the attention of the Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Well, on Thursday, I also got to push the issue in the chamber with the Minister for Europe Caroline Flint, who is due to visit the island in February.

Me: When she goes to the island, she will see once again the commitment of both communities to finding a solution that will end the division of the island. However, the negotiations and discussions have stalled, because not everyone who should be participating is doing so. Would she find the time when she is in Nicosia to visit Ankara and Athens, so that we can bring together all the guarantor powers to ensure that everyone is on the same side in finding a solution for the island?
