🌍 Kudret Ozersay warns Cyprus talks risk disappointment without realistic goals
Former Turkish Cypriot negotiator Kudret Ozersay cautioned that renewed efforts on the Cyprus issue may lead to disappointment if not based on realistic objectives. He stressed that no concrete negotiation process is currently underway and warned against raising unfulfilled hopes.
Ozersay criticized the announcement of an expanded Cyprus meeting, suggesting it serves domestic political interests rather than aiming for a comprehensive settlement. He pointed to pressures on President Nikos Christodoulides to show progress ahead of the 2028 presidential election, which could result in negotiations focused more on appearances than outcomes.
Highlighting the challenges of the international dimension, Ozersay expressed doubts about the United Nations' ability to drive a breakthrough, noting Guterres' term is ending and the UN's influence has diminished. He emphasized that any successful future talks must recognize political realities on the island and the region, with clear, achievable goals to secure a lasting solution.
