Ankara Delivers Message to Erhurman on CBMs as Talks Focus on Four New Crossing Points and Demining
The UN envoy is pushing four crossing points and 70,000 square meters of demining as both sides weigh a package before Monday's meeting.
- On Friday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visited occupied Cyprus, meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman to reinforce Ankara's position that a two-state solution remains a 'red line' in Cyprus negotiations.
- Diplomatic traffic intensified following UN envoy Maria Angela Holguin's arrival last week, who is promoting a package agreement involving four new crossing points and demining measures to build confidence before Monday's tripartite meeting.
- Proposals include clearing 70,000 square meters of minefields and opening crossing points at Mia Milia, Athienou-Pyroi-Aglantzia, Louroujina-Lympia, and Kambos-Karavostasi, though differences remain on demining scope and location preferences.
- Victor Papadopoulos, head of the president's press office, called the visit 'illegal and deplorable,' stating that Fidan's presence 'indicates that the key to the solution of the Cyprus problem lies in Ankara, where the decisions are taken.'
- Monday's tripartite meeting with Holguin, Erhurman, and President Nikos Christodoulides will determine if negotiations resume, potentially triggering an expanded conference with Greece, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the EU to decide on formal talks.
