  • Dick Leonard April 2006 a Rare Chink of Light in the Gloomy Cyprus
    Progressive Thinking for a Global Age Cyprus – a way out of the stalemate? Dick Leonard April 2006 A rare chink of light in the gloomy Cyprus situation is the agreement, just reached, between Tassos Papadopoulos, the President of the Republic of Cyprus, and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Mehmet Ali Talat to meet in Nicosia. Their talks will be confined to talks to discussing the fate of more than 2,000 Greek and Turkish Cypriots missing since the 1974 Greek Cypriot coup and the subsequent Turkish invasion. Could this act as an ice-breaker to persuade both sides to resume meaningful negotiations on bringing an end to the division of the island? Hopes for this are not very high, and a new report by the International Crisis Group, entitled The Cyprus Stalemate: What Next? concludes that the short- term prospects of a constitutional settlement are not good. For this it places the primary blame on the Greek Cypriots and their hard-line government. Papadopoulos has consistently declined to respond to the request of the UN Secretary-General to indicate what changes to the Annan plan would be acceptable to his government, a refusal he maintained when the two men met in Paris on 28 February. The Greek Cypriots defend their position by saying it is unreasonable to ask them to disclose their negotiating position before any new talks are convened. The Crisis Group responds by saying that all recent experience, from the Balkans and elsewhere, is that negotiations never get anywhere unless both sides are willing, at least, to indicate their opening bids in advance.

  • If I Were Talat*
    If I were Talat* ■ by Zeynel Lüle**1 ast time around, I started off as “if I were Christofias,” then went Lon to point out that by attaching significance to his “conciliatory” character, Mehmet Ali Talat, with whom Christofias sat down around a table for a solution, is “the only person on the island”. I concluded by saying that “if I were Christofias, I would shake hands with Talat sooner rather than later, and I would not include the EU in the talks all the time.” Right after my piece of writing, the EU left Christofias stranded, did not throw its weight behind him, and his expectations of Turkey being sanctioned turned out to be anything, but empty. Christofias wasted his energy in the corridors of Brussels, and went back to his meeting with Talat a drained man and with his mind back in Brussels. In this particular respect, what would I do if I were Mehmet Ali Talat? Let me tell you... I could not deliver on two promises First thing, I would not even dare to consider running for presidency in April 2010. At least when I sit down around a table with Christofias, I would not think about the upcoming election while I negotiate a long- lasting solution, so that I would have the upper hand. The people of my community elected me for two reasons. I should al- ways be acutely aware of that. Firstly, I was to re-unite Cyprus; secondly I was to have made all Turkish Cypriots EU citizens. But I could not ac- complish both.

Little progress of substance was made during 19 months of talks between Demetris Christofias, the Greek‐Cypriot President, and Mehmet Ali Talat, the former President of the internationally unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), who was defeated in April by the more hard‐line Derviş Eroğlu. The international community is becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress on a settlement and the idea of a negotiated partition is gaining credence. * Journalist and writer, author of one Working Paper on Cyprus

  • SWP Comments 2005/18, May 2005, 8 Pages
    Introduction Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs A New President in Northern Cyprus The End of an Era but No Solution in Sight Heinz Kramer / Kirstin Hein SWP Comments The long presidential reign of Rauf Denktaş came to an end with the election of April 17, 2005. After almost thirty years in the highest office of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Denktaş—a resolute opponent of reunification of the divided island—has been succeeded by the prime minister, Mehmet Ali Talat. Does Talat’s rise from head of government to become the leader of his ethnic community give grounds for new hope of reopening negotiations on the island? The rigid line taken by Greek Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos suggests not. The change in leadership in the north will not end the impasse in the Cyprus question and the conflict will remain an obstacle on Turkey’s path to European Union membership. Mehmet Ali Talat, a supporter of Cypriot The Rise of Mehmet Ali Talat reunification, was elected president of The Turkish Cypriots have expressed this northern Cyprus in the first round on April wish repeatedly since summer 2003, when 17, with a majority of 55.6 percent of the significant numbers of Turkish Cypriots vote.

  • Cyprus After the Referenda of April 24: What Next?
    CYPRUS AFTER THE REFERENDA OF APRIL 24: WHAT NEXT? Thanos Veremis and Philippos Savvides Abstract Since April 2004 and Cyprus's accession into the EU, important developments have been taking place on the island. In addition, there have been noticeable changes in the ways in which the international community is now approaching the two communities of Cyprus. There is generally a more positive attitude towards the Turkish Cypriot community and a more sceptical one towards the Greek Cypriot one. These developments have created a new climate in the island and have influenced international perceptions significantly. The current state of affairs and the prospects for a solution must, therefore, be reassessed. This paper offers an evaluation of current developments as well as an assessment of the prospects for a solution in the near future. It concludes with some proposals for action in order to keep the prospects for a solution alive. On 24 April 2004 the two communities of Cyprus, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, were asked to determine via two separate and simultaneous referenda whether or not they would accept the comprehensive solution presented to them by the Secretary General of the UN, Kofi Annan. The Greek Cypriot community rejected the proposed plan, by a majority of 76%, whereas the Turkish Cypriot community accepted it by a majority of 65%. In the meantime, the Turks made efforts to meet the Copenhagen criteria in order to secure the agreement of the European Council in December 2004, to the opening of accession negotiations between Turkey and the EU. Turkey's European orientation has been the single most important factor that led to the domestic reforms of the last two years.1 Tayyip Erdogan's decision to demonstrate that his government was ready to accept the solution to the Cyprus problem presented by Kofi Annan in March 2004, improved Turkey's credibility in Europe and strengthened its case for opening accession negotiations.
