Delays and Uncertainty in Cyprus Negotiations
November 1, 2025
The new leader of the Turkish Cypriots, Tufan Erhürman, appears to undermine the efforts of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding the Cyprus issue. He postponed the meeting with Guterres's envoy, Maria Angela Olguin, to December, casting doubt on the timeline for consultations. Hopes for progress seem to be diminishing, as there is no new strategy from Erhürman. The issue of a meeting with President Christodoulides remains unclear. This situation does not bode well for the ongoing talks on Cyprus.
