June is a Decisive Month for the Cyprus Issue

Time is running out for the Cyprus issue, and stagnation leads to partition, according to Neofytos Neofytou. The need for an immediate restart of negotiations aimed at full demilitarization, the withdrawal of foreign troops, and the abolition of guarantees is emphasized. President Christodoulides is urged to take initiatives immediately, as the term of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expiring soon and parliamentary elections are approaching. The goal is to prepare an informal meeting in June that will lead to an agreement, based on the convergences already achieved. The National Council is called upon to assume its historical responsibilities and support the President's immediate action.
