Nikitas Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i dont think an introduction is needed for this issue. this is the latest news about this. the turks in the north choose a new leader wich was pro unification. cyprus president anastasiades will meet him on saturday ahead of unification talks. http://www.dw.de/cyprus-president-to-meet-with-turkish-cypriot-leader-ahead-of-reunification-talks/a-18413293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koro Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I guess its good that they've voted in a less conservative and religious/islamic government. Hopefully it can be a step away from Erdogan, but I don't see Turkey's influence decreasing that much in the near future. But I'm still not sure about any unification talks, it is an awkward position that the 4 countries (Cyprus, N.Cyprus, Greece & Turkey) find themselves in.

Nikitas Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 What are the red lines on Greek side? what the red line on the greek side are at the moment i dont know yet but the turkish leader said that he has no intentions of restarting the talks with any red lines. http://cyprus-mail.com/2015/04/26/what-do-the-two-candidates-offer/ i just read an article that said that the meeting that was planned this saturday between anastasiades and akinci is postphoned untill next week. reasons are not considered of substance. http://www.abc22now.com/template/inews_wire/wires.international/3a3c5c98-www.abc22now.com.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athinaios Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The problem is not repatriating those Turks. They can buy them out. A few wealthy Greek Cypriots would spend this money if it meant unification. These people are being used as leverage. A possible solution would be a federated state, but not like in the past when the two communities were separated economically, and politically. The northern Turkish Cypriots will not accept any deal that marginalizes them. Anyway, the biggest obstacle to reunification is Erdogan. He's a nationalist leader who has grandiose visions, like he's trying to emulate Putin. He is dangerous. I don't see him "giving up a piece of Turkey" as long as he's Turkey's leader. So, even if the Turkish-Cypriots would like a solution, he has to agree, and I don't see this happening now. The only chance would be if Europe was to offer a carrot to Turkey, though I don't see this happening either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can't we just buy back the country ? I wonder what the figure would have to be to be fair market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 In Northern Cyprus, right-wing nationalist Ersin Tatar is elected president. Erdogan-backed Tatar favors a two-state solution for the island and says 'they will never tear the ties between us and Turkey' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It doesn't look like we will have any progress in re-unification talks any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
