Cyprus issue negotiations

Disy leader Annita Demetriou met with the UN Secretary-General’s personal envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, to discuss the Cyprus issue. Demetriou conveyed that the only viable solution is to resume negotiations from where they stopped in Crans-Montana, emphasizing a solution under the UN’s auspices based on a bizonal, bi-communal federation with political equality. She highlighted the danger of maintaining the status quo and rejected a two-state solution, advocating for negotiations based on the Guterres plan and previous convergences. Demetriou also shared Disy’s initiatives to foster conditions conducive to resolving the Cyprus issue and stressed the urgency of addressing the conflict, given the ongoing occupation for over 50 years.
