Cyprus's Unexpected Invitation to Trump's Peace Council

Cyprus received an unexpected invitation from US President Donald Trump to participate in a Peace Council. The author argues that Cyprus should accept the invitation despite reservations, as it represents a significant opportunity to promote its interests internationally. Furthermore, the author expresses strong criticism towards the European Union, accusing it of hypocrisy and indifference towards Cypriot issues while supporting Turkey. The EU, while threatening sanctions against countries like Greenland, fails to take action against Turkey despite its provocations. Participation in the Peace Council could provide Cyprus with a platform to discuss its problems with powerful leaders and break the cycle of inaction. The author notes that France and the Pope are positive about the proposal, while Germany appears hesitant. Finally, he emphasizes that Cyprus should not be afraid to take initiatives to solve its problems, even if it means diverging from European policies.
