Nikos Christodoulides and Tufan Erhürman to hold first one-on-one meeting since UN visit with low expectations
President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman are set to meet one-on-one for the first time since UN Secretary-General António Guterres's July visit to Cyprus. The meeting carries low expectations, as no substantial progress has been made following Guterres’s call for renewed dialogue, and the recording of convergences between the two sides remains incomplete.
Erhürman's ability to move beyond Ankara’s constraints is seen as critical, with continued obstacles impeding confidence-building measures and the opening of new crossing points. Both leaders have differing views on the negotiation methodology, with Erhürman emphasizing preconditions and political equality, while Christodoulides focuses on building upon existing convergences and preparing for an enlarged conference.
The upcoming talks aim to clarify these positions and explore ways to revive substantive negotiations, though ongoing divergences and the lack of a unified approach complicate prospects for progress in the Cyprus peace process.
