May 27, 2025
Ersin Tatar, the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, met with the UN Secretary-General's special envoy and emphasized the need to halt what he calls terrorist acts, referring to arrests related to property usurpation. He connected this issue to the upcoming multilateral meeting in July in Geneva, asserting that tensions must be reduced for serious negotiations to occur. This falls within a broader context defining the relationship between the two communities in Cyprus, with Tatar reiterating the policy of sovereign equality supported by Turkey.
