Anticipating Developments in the Cyprus Issue Before Year-End
October 26, 2025
The Cyprus issue will undergo a test of endurance before the end of the year, with third parties believing that conditions have changed following the election of Tufan Erhürman. International agendas include Turkey's wishes regarding the EU, while Cyprus expects significant developments in November and December. The Turkish side is likely to avoid participation in EU meetings during the Cyprus Presidency. Erhürman is seen by some as an opportunity for change, though his political stance remains unclear. The Cyprus issue is expected to resurface due to the involvement of the UN Secretary-General.
