UN is Working to Achieve Tripartite Meeting on Cyprus Issue
The United Nations and international actors are working to facilitate a tripartite meeting on the Cyprus issue in late October.
Bilateral meetings in New York between UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar are seen as preparatory steps.
According to sources, the UN believes efforts to persuade Tatar to attend a tripartite meeting could succeed during this period. Turkey is being urged to encourage the Turkish Cypriot leader’s participation, according to the sources.
Both the UN Secretariat and foreign countries monitoring the situation are said to be placing emphasis on the potential role of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in reaching an agreement.
During a recent UK visit, Tatar announced his planned trip to New York on September 22 to meet Guterres. He stated he would reiterate his position, emphasising that negotiations would not proceed until demands for “direct flights, direct trade, and direct international contacts” are met.
Turkish Cypriot media outlet “Ozgür Gazet” reported that Tatar’s UK trip aimed to gather support for a “two-state” scenario.
The report alleged that the Turkish Cypriot news agency TAK censored parts of Tatar’s interview with a British journalist.
