Reunification Talks: Divergence Between Government and TC Leadership
President Christodoulides expresses his willingness to resume reunification talks as early as next week and refutes Turkish arguments about unfavorable timing. Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman, however, expresses skepticism and accuses Christodoulides of signing military agreements with other countries, while expressing little hope for a new peace plan. The UN Secretary-General continues to show strong interest in the Cyprus issue.
