According to a press release from his staff, Demetriades said that the UN "describes the situation in dark colors and criticizes the 'two sides' for their actions or omissions, warning of the risk of conflict in the buffer zone. The Secretary-General, on the other hand, applauds the work done by the Technical Committees and this is worth noting."
The Cyprus problem, he adds, is at its worst moment since '74. "No talks, no basis for negotiation, no special envoy. President Anastasiades "and associates" bear a great responsibility for the current impasse. They have been "ideologuing" about "two states", playing games about returning to the 1960s Constitution. I do not ignore Turkish intransigence, but neither do I ignore our own five years of inaction. The status quo should not be our future and the future of our children."
Demetriades declares "never compromise with partition" and therefore suggests the two keys: energy and the Euro-Turkish relationship to break the deadlock. We can reverse this situation by charting a new course in February 2023, Achilleas Demetriades concludes.
