Clip 8of14 - Part 2of2 of Andy Love MP addressing the meeting, followed by Mark Menzies MP The speakers are introduced by Mr Peter Droussiotis who is President of The National Federation of Cypriots in the UK http://www.cypriotfederation.org.uk Longstanding friend of Cyprus, Andy Love MP, told of his "heavy heart" at having to once again address a meeting whose theme was the division of Cyprus, rather than to celebrate its reunification. Mr Love called on the Government to make Cyprus a much bigger priority because: "The UK has a special role in Cyprus. We were there at the creation of the independent Republic of Cyprus, we are a guarantor power and that gives us a special responsibility. And Britain has a role in the world ... as a member of the EU and the Security Council of the UN, where it must push and cajole all parties in the Cyprus problem to make sure that a proper dialogue takes place." However, he added, there is also a need for US influence because it has "a critical relation ship with Turkey" which can be used to "push Turkey in the right direction."
