A visit by the UK's Turkey trade envoy to Northern Cyprus has escalated into a diplomatic spat.
The Greek Cypriot government condemned the 'unacceptable' trip by Labour's Afzal Khan, piling pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to sack him.
Britain, in common with the rest of the world barring Turkey, does not recognise the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Despite this, the MP for Manchester Rusholme has this week visited the breakaway statelet to the fury of Greek Cypriots, who accused him of breaking international agreements.
They regard the Turkish-controlled north as a rogue state and have called for the 30,000 troops stationed there to leave.
