Takis Hadjideimitriou: Lack of Language of Peace Undermines Cyprus Talks

Takis Hadjideimitriou, in an interview, criticizes the language used regarding the Cyprus issue, emphasizing the absence of a culture of peace and the propaganda that undermines any prospect of understanding. He believes the Greek Cypriot side bears responsibility, as it uses derogatory terms for Turkish Cypriots and the “Turkish Press.” He also criticizes the Archbishop's message, considering it does not promote peace and reconciliation. He stresses the need for self-criticism, dignity, and humanity to build a solution.
