The Cyprus Issue is Absent

The article focuses on the absence of the Cyprus issue from public dialogue and the political agenda, despite Cyprus's choice to align itself with the West. The author argues that the effort to approach major powers has not yielded results in promoting the national problem. He criticizes the government's policy, which is characterized by stagnation and a lack of initiatives to resolve the Cyprus issue. He points out that the opposition does not exercise criticism, which favors the continuation of the existing situation. The author states that other issues, such as foot-and-mouth disease and tourism, are being overly promoted by the media, diverting attention from the Cyprus issue. He believes that resolving the Cyprus issue could contribute to addressing other problems. Finally, the author expresses doubts about the effectiveness of the President's contacts with foreign leaders, as well as Cyprus's policy of keeping Turkey outside its alliances. He believes that this tactic makes it more difficult to achieve a solution to the Cyprus issue.
