Olgin: Asks Leaders for Results on Confidence-Building Measures - Pessimistic but Hopes for Something Today

Olgin, the EU representative, is urging the leaders of both communities to deliver concrete results in the negotiations on Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs). Despite her pessimism, she hopes for some progress during today's trilateral meeting. She warned that a new 5+1 meeting would be very difficult without progress on CBMs. The discussion focuses on the need for substantial progress in the negotiations, as well as the timelines for the implementation of pension reform, which is expected to take effect on January 1, 2027.
