Erhurman: “I haven’t received any proposals from Christodoulides for measures benefiting Turkish Cypriots yet”

Tufan Erhurman, leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, stated that he has not yet received any proposals from President Christodoulides regarding unilateral measures to benefit Turkish Cypriots. This statement comes in response to reports in Greek Cypriot media that President Christodoulides wishes to discuss two new initiatives with him in the areas of health and the economy. According to the reports, President Christodoulides seeks to maintain dialogue with Mr. Erhurman and therefore requested his opinion before announcing the aforementioned measures. However, Mr. Erhurman assured that he will publicize any proposal he receives. Mr. Erhurman’s statement highlights the need for direct communication and transparency on issues affecting both communities. The lack of an official proposal so far raises questions about the Greek Cypriot side’s intention to proceed with specific measures. This case is being closely monitored by the media and both communities, as the possible implementation of unilateral measures could have significant implications for relations between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
