EURO Politika

Following the elections held in 2023 in the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides became the new leader of the Greek Cypriot community. Christodoulides, who maintains close relations with the European Union (EU), is seeking European support to continue the negotiations on the Cyprus issue, which were interrupted in Crans-Montana in 2017. The aim of this study is to show the efforts made for the EU to directly intervene in the Cyprus issue after Christodoulides was elected as the Greek Cypriot leader. For this purpose, the process in question was analyzed by taking into account the news about the Cyprus issue published in both the Greek Cypriot press and the EU’s official media following the elections in the Greek Cypriot Administration. Thus, various international initiatives of the Greek Cypriot Administration, led by Christodoulides, were identified to include the EU in the negotiations that are planned to be restarted under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). However, to date, the interference of international organizations in Cyprus Issue has not produced a solution, on the contrary, the deadlock has continued. In this respect, the study argues that the deadlock on the island will continue with the EU’s involvement in the Cyprus issue.
