As announced by the United Nations last week, at 11 a.m., the Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy, María Ángela Olguín, will welcome the Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhürman, and the Greek Cypriot leader, Nicos Christodoulides, at the residence of the Head of Mission, within the United Nations-protected area.
President Christodoulides stated last week that the Greek Cypriot side is working continuously, submitting proposals, and expressed the view that if there is political will, they could lead to a resumption of talks.
Yesterday, Ms. Olgin, in an interview with the Sunday Mail, spoke of the risk of “enormous damage” to the effort to resume negotiations on the Cyprus issue should the UN Secretary-General’s initiative fail again; meanwhile, in an interview with the newspaper “Politis,” she referred to the need for the two leaders to agree on a clear process—including a timeline, the agenda, and mechanisms for overcoming deadlocks, in order to establish a framework for resuming talks.
