President Christodoulides affirms commitment to Cyprus reunification, warns against artificial progress
President Nikos Christodoulides emphasized that the "window of opportunity" for resolving the Cyprus problem remains open, reaffirming his commitment to reunification during a televised address marking the Republic’s 66th anniversary. While acknowledging the lack of substantial progress and Turkish President Erdogan’s recent calls for a two-state solution, Christodoulides stressed he would not pursue "artificial progress" merely to restart talks.
He highlighted support from the UN, EU, and key international partners as reasons for optimism and reiterated his readiness to make concessions that further the goal of reunification. Strengthening Cyprus’ National Guard and upgrading deterrence capabilities were described as non-negotiable priorities, intended purely for defense amid regional tensions.
The president also linked domestic economic and social policies to Cyprus’ broader strategic goals, noting strong economic performance despite pressures from inflation and rising costs. Christodoulides underscored his vision of a unified Cyprus without occupation or external intervention, committed to protecting sovereignty and improving conditions for all communities on the island.
