With expectations running particularly low ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Tufan Erhurman, Nikos Christodoulides, speaking at the 6th Pan-Cypriot Refugee Gathering in the Achna Forest, makes it clear that there is no Plan B regarding the Cyprus issue.
NIKOS CHRISTODOULIDIS—President of the Republic: “For
us, there is no other option but to resolve the Cyprus issue. We are ready for the next step. We are fully prepared to begin negotiations even tomorrow, and the message we are sending to the Turkish side— the message I am sending tonight to the Turkish side, is that everyone, including us, will be put to the test at the negotiating table.”
Nikos Christodoulides stated that during Tuesday’s meeting, he will ask Erhurman to review the 19 proposals he submitted, which concern substance, methodology, and the terms of reference.

“The situation—as we recently heard from the Turkish President at the General Assembly—remains difficult due to Turkey’s approach; however, on our part, I want to assure you that we will exhaust even the slightest opportunity to resume substantive negotiations that will lead to a resolution of the Cyprus problem.”
Erhürman himself is in Ankara to speak as an official guest at a conference on the Cyprus issue in light of developments in the region.
In contrast to members of the pseudo-government, Erhurman was not invited by any Turkish official to a meeting.
The one who is making sure to ramp up tensions in the occupied territories ahead of the so-called elections on December 6 is Ankara’s puppet “prime minister,” Unal Ustel, who, among other things, is reiterating his position on a two-state solution.

“In Greece, military officials are making statements claiming that Israel has the right to attack Turkish targets in Northern Cyprus because Cyprus is not a member of NATO. We will not surrender our country, our security, or our future.”
