It's Tragic That They Find Her Useful Here

The author strongly criticizes the UN Secretary-General's envoy for Cyprus, accusing her of defending the Turkish position and undermining efforts to restart negotiations. He points out that her statements regarding the impact of parliamentary elections and the Cypriot Presidency in the EU are laughable and underestimate the Cypriot side. The author believes that the silence of political forces in Cyprus encourages the envoy to continue this policy, which serves Turkish interests. He condemns the envoy's attempt to portray Turkey as innocent and justify its intransigence. The author emphasizes that the Cypriot Presidency in the EU and the parliamentary elections do not constitute obstacles to the continuation of negotiations but are used as pretexts to delay developments. He accuses the envoy of treating Cyprus with contempt and underestimating it. The author concludes by expressing his disappointment with the situation and calls on Cypriot politicians to react decisively to the envoy's attitude and defend the national interests of Cyprus.
