One of Europe’s longest long -running controversies has expressed his optimism about the latest dialogue which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday.
The informal dialogue is set to start in New York, headed by United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres, as one of the guarantor powers for the Mediterranean Island in Britain.
Turkish Turkish Cyprots have promised a “a new approach” for talks in the unfamiliar Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, while the Republic of Cyprus in the south says that they enter talks with “positive spirit”.
The dialogue is also prescribed to include the UK as one of the former guarantor powers of the island, in which it is expected to create the latest in the succession of international agreements with the Kir starrer.
After a series of successes on the international stage, including Brexit Resett and the trade deals with the US and India, the Prime Minister is now looking at the 51 -year division on the island of Cyprus.
It comes after Arsin Tatar, president of the unfamiliar Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Help sought from Boris Johnson In a trip to the UK in late June.
Shri Tatar Met with former Prime Minister after interacting with UK minister Stephen dout For the first time in the Foreign Office (FCDO), which is ready to lead to the UK in New York talks.
Mr. Johnson, who has Turkish heritage, was UK’s Foreign Secretary during the final formal talks on the island in 2015 in 2017, Crans Montana, Switzerland, who collapsed.
Turkish and Greek Cyprots There are still deadlock over the decades of the island of the island.
President Tatar, supported by turkeyChairman Recep Erdoan is emphasizing for a two-state solution with similar recognition and the island divided into practice since 1974. However, the recognized Cyprhat government is still insisting on a federal solution to reconcile the island.
But Mr. Tatar has said that he has agreed to find a new way to resolve disputes using talks to find mutual cooperation on issues that benefit both sides.
He said: “Our new approach is basically to cooperate in various matters for both sides, including energy, water, new economic opportunities, cleaning the land from all mines, especially in buffer zones, even repairing old cemeteries on both sides.
“We want to invest in solar energy in renewable energy in buffer zones, where we have a lot of land that is nothing there. So we can use too much investment to generate energy and share it with Greek Cyprots for our normal good.”
He also thinks that the island will benefit with a new cable running from Türkiye which is just 60 km from Cyprus.
The issue has become more complicated over disputes, which owns the oil and gas reserves close to the island.
With Mr. Tatar meeting Mr. Dauti In the recent memory, there was a first meeting between a TRNC representative and the UK minister in the government’s whitehall offices. The minister is believed to have refused to take a picture with Tatar in his office, such as sensitivity around the Cyprus issue.
A FCDO source said: “Mr. Douty informally met Ersin Tatar, to discuss the ongoing un-LED efforts to reach the Cyprus settlement as a leader of the Turkish Cyprhat community, as we arrive at the next United Nations meeting between parties and guarantic powers in July.”
The United Nations Secretary -General announced the appointment of Maria Angela Holigin Kuller as his individual messenger on Cyprus in early May, which was tasked to re -organize the parties to work in the next stages on the issue.
Britain, as a former colonial power, has a guarantor power with two military grounds on Cyprus. Greece And Türkiye.
The island is divided as the Turkish Army intervened in 1974 after a Greek-Cyrotte military coup, causing ethnic conflicts. The Turkish army has been north since, Turkish Cyprots saw him as a defensive force and as Greek Cyprots, supported as supporters by the international community. TRNC declared itself an independent state in 1983, but has not been recognized outside Turkey.
Turkish Cyprots argue that exactly three years after the British, the attack on the Turkish Cyprhat community began to partition in 1963 with the collapse of the caste power sharing system.
On Annan Yojana in 2005 United Nations Almost reunion was observed, but a referendum in the south was rejected by the Greek Cyprots at the last -time, even though Turkish Cyprots voted in the side.
Despite this, Cyprus was allowed to become a member of the European Union, which has almost impossible to solve the problem, including former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
