Leaders of Cyprus\u2019s estranged Greek and Turkish communities met on Thursday (February 23) as a deadlock persisted in peace talks on the ethnically divided island.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    The meeting was the first for newly elected Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, the new Greek Cypriot leader, and Ersin Tatar, the Turkish Cypriot leader.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    They met on neutral ground in a United Nations-controlled buffer zone splitting the two sides in the divided capital, Nicosia, at the home of Canadian diplomat Colin Stewart who heads the peacekeeping mission on the east Mediterranean island.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cIt went great,\u201d said Stewart, responding to a reporter\u2019s question after the meeting.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cVery, very well,\u201d said Christodoulides.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cVery happy to meet Nikos,\u201d said Tatar.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    The U.N. mission, UNFICYP, said the meeting was \u2018open and constructive\u2019.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cMr. Christodoulides and Mr. Tatar addressed several issues, including the recent devastating earthquakes in T\u00fcrkiye and Syria that claimed thousands of lives, amongst them Turkish Cypriots, and they expressed their sympathy for the victims and their families,\u201d the spokesperson for the mission said in a written statement. Christodoulides had suggested a social meeting with Tatar and their spouses.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    No new meeting was set.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cSlowly, slowly,\u201d Chistodoulides told reporters about a possible new meeting.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    Cyprus was split in a Turkish invasion in 1974 after a brief Greek-inspired coup, with Greek Cypriots living in its south and Turkish Cypriots in an unrecognized breakaway north. The last round of peace talks collapsed in 2017.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cThe present state of affairs cannot be the solution to the Cyprus problem, not for Greek Cypriots, or Turkish Cypriots,\u201d Christodoulides said after the two-hour meeting with Tatar.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    Christodoulides, a former foreign minister in the outgoing center-right administration, won a closely fought election on Feb. 12 and will be sworn in on Feb. 28.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    Centrist and right-wing parties supporting him have typically followed a hard line in reunification talks. Two of his backers reject the United Nations basis for the talks, which is uniting Cyprus under a loose federal umbrella, though Christodoulides has repeatedly stated he backs the U.N. framework.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    Tatar, who is also a hardliner, says the only solution for Cyprus is a two-state one, with each side holding equal sovereign rights.<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n    \u201cI didn\u2019t hear anything I didn\u2019t expect from Mr Tatar,\u201d Christodoulides said. \u201cI expressed my readiness \u2013 and acknowledging the differences in approach and disagreements on basic issues \u2013 to do whatever I can to break the deadlock,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"jp-relatedposts\" class=\"jp-relatedposts\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reuters.
