Cyprus’ reunification: What next after failed talks?

The Turkish Cypriot foreign minister tells Al Jazeera he sees little hope for negotiations, but others see a path forward.

Athens, Greece – Weeks after United Nations-led talks in April failed to resuscitate negotiations to reunify Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriot foreign minister has told Al Jazeera that the UN process is dead. “There will not be negotiations so long as the Greek Cypriots are treated as if they are the Republic of Cyprus and so long as the Turkish Cypriots are treated as if we are nothing other than a mere community of that Republic,” Tahsin Ertugruloglu told Al Jazeera. “Equal international status is a must.”
