That this House warmly welcomes the attendance of the President of Cyprus, Demetrios Christofias on Wednesday 25 November 2009 at 6pm to open the photographic exhibition in the Upper Waiting Hall in the House of Commons based on the new books of portraits, Faces of Cyprus, by the distinguished British - Cypriot photographer Doros Partasides; notes with admiration how in the book Mr Partasides has brought together for the first time his vast body of work which spans 40 years of taking thousands of pictures of Cyprus and Cypriots; admires the way in which the exhibition and the book serve as a powerful cultural and historical document which beautifully evokes the variety, riches and personality of the island and its people; sees this as a powerful reminder of the need to support President Christofias in his negotiations to reunite Cyprus and the Cypriot people; and urges Turkey to play its proper role in facilitating these negotiations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
