Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar meet with UN mediator, but fail to reach agreement on a deal to open new crossing points.
A meeting between Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and the leader of the breakaway Turkish Cypriots Ersin Tatar, mediated by Colin Stewart, the United Nations Chief of Mission in Cyprus , ended without an agreement on Monday. The meeting, which took place at the U.N. official's residence inside a U.N.-controlled buffer zone cutting across the divided capital Nicosia, aimed to build trust and find solutions for the long-standing division of the island.
Both sides failed to reach a decision on a proposed deal that included opening new crossing points across the buffer zone. The lack of agreement underscores the continued challenges in finding a lasting resolution to the Cyprus issue, which has been a point of contention for decades. \The meeting was closely watched by international observers, who hope that future talks will be more productive. The U.N. continues to play a vital role in maintaining peace and stability on the island, and the international community remains committed to supporting efforts to achieve a comprehensive settlement.
