UN-Led Talks End With No Progress, Much Ill-Will

CYPRUS

The latest round of talks over the future of Cyprus between the Republic of Cyprus, Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, the three guarantor countries (Greece, Turkey, the UK), and the UN have ended with no progress and much ill-will.

  • Earlier this morning UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said at the summit in Geneva that there is not enough common ground yet to resume formal negotiations, and that the parties should meet again in 2-3 months. He added that "I won't give up" and that "It wasn't an easy meeting."
  • Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan adds further ill-will to the summit's conclusion, stating that "I don't think the next round of UN talks would produce results", and that "I don't trust Southern Cyprus. They have never acted honestly".
