March 21, 2025
In Geneva, discussions regarding the appointment of a personal envoy from the UN Secretary-General faced challenges due to Ersin Tatar's negative stance. Despite his opposition, he eventually accepted the appointment but with limitations on the envoy’s role. The next informal meeting was proposed to take place at the end of July, while discussions about Olguin's appointment continued without agreement. The Secretary-General insisted on the importance of appointing an envoy for Cyprus.
