London’s Turkish Cypriots hosted an event to be proud of yesterday afternoon. Held in the “Cyprus Kitchen” in Green Lanes, two of Labour’s Euro candidates, Nilgun Canver and Emma Jones plus myself addressed a meeting of Turkish Cypriots on Europe and specifically Laabour in Europe. We were joined by MPs Joan Ryan from Enfield and Andy Love, Tottenham.
The debate, chaired by Turkish Cypriot community stalwart Hassan Raif, was lively and interesting. As you would expect, the Cyprus problem featured heavily as did Turkey’s possible accession to the European Union. I am confident of a high level of support for Labour from Turkish Cypriots.
Following the meeting, we were invited to a meal at the “Cyprus Kitchen”. My thanks to all those involved in this for their hospitality and special thanks to Hassan Raif for organising the event.
