Greek Cypriot side urges diplomats to avoid meetings with Turkish Cypriots at UN General Assembly
The Greek Cypriot government has urged diplomats and representatives attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York to refrain from meeting with Turkish Cypriot representatives. A letter sent to permanent UN missions warned that Turkish Cypriot officials were exploiting the presence of high-level officials to promote secessionist policies, contravening UN Security Council resolutions.
The letter, issued by the Republic of Cyprus's permanent representative to the UN, also criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's speech for disregarding relevant UN resolutions and principles of international law. This move comes amid continuing tensions and a lack of progress in resolving the Cyprus problem, highlighted by the Turkish Cypriot leader's refusal to consent to a proposed tripartite meeting with the Greek Cypriot president and the UN Secretary-General.
Relations between the two sides have further deteriorated with efforts by the Greek Cypriot side to cancel Turkish Cypriot international events and disputes over official titles at the Cyprus Forum. Recent withdrawals of both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot mayors from the forum underscore the ongoing divisions and sensitivities surrounding recognition and dialogue on the island.
