The Turkish Cypriots' will to choose Tufan Erhürman as their new leader opens a new chapter of hope and expectations for the island's reunification on the basis of the Resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council. A reunification that will guarantee peace and prosperity for Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots within the European family.
The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, has undertaken tireless efforts, following a long period of inaction, to bring the Cyprus Issue back to the UN Secretary-General's agenda and to resume the informal discussions. We look forward to working together on the next step in the upcoming informal meeting in a broader format. Divisions have no place in the modern turbulent international landscape.
Cyprus must convey the universal message of synthesis and unity.
