Kotzias to meet UN envoy to discuss Cyprus problem

Greece’s Foreign Minister Nicos Kotzias will be meeting UN envoy Jane Holl Lute on Tuesday afternoon to discuss Athens’ positions on the potential resumption of reunification talks.

The meeting is scheduled for 4pm at the foreign ministry in Athens.

Lute will then travel to Brussels for talks with Federica Mogherini, the EU’s High Representative of the for Foreign Affairs and Security.

Lute has already met with President Nicos Anastasiades, Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci, and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteres tasked Lute in July to conduct consultations with all the parties to gauge the climate following the failed talks last summer.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
