Cyprus dispute

Although Cypriots have gradually lost their matriarchal culture due to centuries of patriarchal impositions, mothers and wives remain sacrosanct on the island. In reality, 

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said the Cyprus talks, which are due to resume in Geneva on Nov. 20, have made considerable progress but there is still distance to cover before a final deal.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Chair Öztürk Yılmaz has urged the government over the ongoing Cyprus reunification talks, saying it must not give concessions on key issues like Turkey's guarantor status, territory and property. 

It is time for a resolution on the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus, the leader of Turkish Cyprus said on Nov. 15, the 33rd anniversary of the state's establishment. 

Current peace talks on reuniting the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus are a "last chance" and five-party negotiations that include Turkey, Greece and the United Kingdom should start swiftly, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Nov. 13.

Current talks on reuniting the divided island of Cyprus are a "last opportunity" and five-party negotiations that include Turkey, Greece and the United Nations should start swiftly, Ankara's foreign minister said on Sunday.

Mevlut Cavusoglu made the comment at a joint news conference with his Chinese counterpart in Ankara.

The Mont Pelerin rendezvous of the Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders was slated to be an "end game" but it turned out to be an almost "game over." Upon request of the Greek Cypriot leaders, the deadlocked talks were suspended for one week and are scheduled to resume, this time in Geneva, on Nov. 20.

Five days of U.N.-sponsored talks on ending the decades-old division of Cyprus have adjourned without a breakthrough but negotiators vowed Nov. 12 to press on for a deal this year.

The Cyprus peace talks made "significant progress" after five days of negotiations at the Swiss resort of Mont Pelerin, according to the United Nations, which said that the effort will resume on November 20.

Cyprus peace talks ended late on Nov. 11 in Switzerland without a final deal despite UN claims of "significant progress."

The high-level negotiations will resume in Geneva on Nov. 20.

Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akıncı and Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades were engaged in sustained negotiations in Mont Pelerin since Nov. 7 under the auspices of the UN.
