The Stakes of the Guterres-Ergürhan Meeting

The upcoming meeting between UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhürman, has raised expectations for the resumption of negotiations on the Cyprus issue. The Greek Cypriot side views the meeting positively, while Erhürman seeks to put his maximalist positions on the preconditions for a solution on the table. The four preconditions that Erhürman insists on are political equality, the adoption of convergences, a timeline, and guarantees for the future. Guterres is expected to ask Erhürman to clarify his position on the form of the solution he seeks.
