Christodoulides and Erhurman Meeting to Discuss Educational and Social Issues
February 24, 2026
President Nikos Christodoulides will meet with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman today to discuss the challenges faced by the trapped residents of Karpassia, particularly the functioning of the Rizokarpaso school. Christodoulides is expected to request Erhurman to take simple actions to facilitate the support for the school and the trapped population. The agenda will also include Confidence-Building Measures and the opening of new crossing points, though expectations for significant progress are low. Ongoing negotiations remain stalled, and there are concerns about Erhurman's increasing alignment with Ankara's positions. The main goal is to clarify Erhurman's intentions regarding the next steps in the negotiations.
