Christodoulides reveals 14 CBMs for Turkish Cypriots
President Nikos Christodoulides has announced a set of confidence-building measures aimed at improving the daily lives of Turkish Cypriots. One of the main measures is to grant citizenship to the children of a Turkish Cypriot and a Turkish parent. Other measures include enhancing the ‘Green Line Trade’ facility and implementing various social and economic initiatives. These measures are seen as significant gestures towards the Turkish Cypriots and could help in resolving the Cyprus problem. However, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar has described the measures as “full of traps.” The measures will be implemented in line with national law, international law, and the European Union (EU) acquis.
