Political Developments in Turkey and Greece and the Situation in Cyprus
July 19, 2026
The UN Secretary-General's visit to Cyprus is perhaps a final attempt to revive talks between the two leaders. Erdogan is preparing a tense autumn that will impact the Cypriot situation. Elections in Greece are expected in late September or early October, while in Turkey elections seem aimed for 2027. Issues related to Cyprus require the involvement of the three guarantor powers to make progress. The situation is complex and cautious due to the internal political developments in Turkey and Greece.
