President Christodoulides open to daily talks with Turkish Cypriot leader ahead of UN meeting
Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides expressed willingness to meet Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman daily before their joint attendance at the United Nations General Assembly later this month. The leaders aim to hold several meetings to discuss ongoing confidence-building measures crucial for resolving the Cyprus problem.
Their scheduled talks were briefly postponed last week due to a tragic ferry sinking near Kyrenia, which temporarily shifted focus away from negotiations. Christodoulides emphasized their commitment to practical steps designed to strengthen reunification efforts, citing discussions around the status of four designated crossing points agreed upon in Geneva last year.
Meanwhile, Erhurman criticized attempts by the Greek Cypriot side to hamper Turkish Cypriot participation in diplomatic activities, viewing them as efforts to marginalize Turkish Cypriots. UN envoy Maria Angela Holguin has underscored that implementing confidence-building measures is essential prior to an enlarged Cyprus peace conference involving all stakeholders, including guarantor powers Greece, Turkey, and the UK.
