yes



The President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Mehmet Ali Talat is continuing with his contacts in London.



Last night he met with the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and exchanged views regarding the Cyprus issue.



Addressing journalists after this meeting, President Talat said his meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown was very useful and noted that Mr. Brown was very interested in the Cyprus issue.



Explaining that the issue of guarantees was on the agenda President Talat said ‘the continuation of the guarantee agreements meets our security needs and I have told this to Mr. Brown also’.



Prime Minister Gorndon Brown for his part issued a written statement after his meeting with the President one that expressed his support to the progress made by President Mehmet Ali Talat during the Cyprus negotiations process.



Meanwhile today, President Mehmet Ali Talat attended the inauguration ceremony of the Girne American University’s Canterbury Campus.

Will his visit to London improve the chances of a full settlement, reduce the chances, or have no effect??
