President Christodoulides signals possible Cyprus talks resumption during UN General Assembly
President Nikos Christodoulides announced ongoing intense preparations aimed at achieving progress on the Cyprus problem during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly high-level week in New York. A meeting of negotiators was held to pave the way for the desired outcome: the official announcement of the resumption of negotiations. He indicated that a convergences document outlining agreed points is expected soon, potentially enabling a joint meeting with UN representatives during the Assembly.
Christodoulides confirmed a recent telephone discussion between UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Cyprus envoy Maria Angela Holguin, without revealing details. Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot officials have expressed concerns about initiatives they believe undermine trust, urging for new confidence-building measures and a conducive climate for constructive talks. Both sides continue to discuss methodology, substantive issues, and trust-building, aiming to advance negotiations from where they stalled in 2017 at Crans-Montana.
Despite disagreements, Christodoulides remains optimistic about conditions for resuming talks. Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman emphasized the difficulties involved and the need to avoid actions that erode confidence, highlighting challenges such as canceled Turkish Cypriot events and property disputes. The upcoming meetings in New York are seen as critical junctures for the peace process.
