The National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, which represents more than 300,000 British citizens of Cypriot origin, sent a letter to the UK government protesting the recent visit to the Turkish-occupied areas of Cyprus by the UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Turkey, Labour MP Afzal Khan. In the letter, the Federation calls for Khan's immediate removal from the post, describing the visit as a "blatant violation" of international law and longstanding UK policy.
