Erhürman says new proposal could change course of Cyprus talks
President Tufan Erhürman said he would present a new proposal that could change the course of the Cyprus talks when he meets Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides and UN envoy María Ángela Holguín at 11am on Monday.
In a statement posted on his social media account ahead of the meeting, Erhürman said his side had prepared a package of “bridge-building” proposals on issues already discussed. He said the package took into account the Greek Cypriot side’s views as well as Turkish Cypriot demands.
Erhürman said he had previously told Holguín that the package was being prepared. He said he would also put forward a separate proposal with the potential to “completely change the dynamics of the process” and influence how the sides approach it.
He gave no details of the new proposal before the meeting. He said he hoped the talks would produce concrete results and pave the way for further steps, and that he would give a full briefing afterwards.
