Is the Government Spokesperson Misleading Us?

Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis is facing criticism for the discrepancy between his statements and the disappointment expressed by the UN Secretary-General's envoy for Cyprus, Maria Angela Holguin, following her meeting with President Christodoulides. Ms. Holguin appeared frustrated by the lack of progress on confidence-building measures, while Mr. Letymbiotis described the meeting as "very good." The author questions the spokesperson's honesty, suggesting that the government may consider a meeting successful even if it did not lead to any progress, even on the issue of Confidence Building Measures.
