Informal Conference on Cyprus and Confidence-Building Measures
February 16, 2025
The United Nations is planning an informal five-party conference on the Cyprus issue, focusing on confidence-building measures. Discussions are underway regarding a model of loose federation to attract the Turkish side, yet circumstances do not seem to favor positive outcomes. The Cypriot side emphasizes that it will not accept any proposals impacting its sovereignty. Notably, there is a suggestion for cooperation on water issues, though it may undermine the island's sovereignty.
