The EU wants the Cyprus problem solved as soon as possible

A Greek political analyst based in Brussels, who seems to have access to the European Commission’s view on the Cyprus problem explained it the other day on Politis radio; in short he said the EU is “tired’ of the Cyprus problem and the EU seeks to segregate the differences of Greece and Turkey with the Cyprus problem.

Hence the view of the CM that the EU wants to see a solution is probably about right. The question is what solution and what will Turkey want in exchange in the East Mediterranean.

The EU has far too many problems in its agenda like Brexit, terrorism, unemployment, the pandemic and of course its role in the trip polar world with China being seen as a threat.

Cypriot politicians, on both sides of the green line, need to get out of the bubble they have been living and see that a solution within the EU is a win win for all true Cypriot patriots.

We know that nationalism brings destruction to this part of the world and a workable solution that has checks and balances is the only feasible future. It is not a zero sum game.

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.
