Politics of Cyprus

Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akıncı has suggested a rare social meeting with Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades to talk about the new crossings would be "possible."

Anastasiades has expressed his satisfaction over a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, noting that he has sought Russia's help on matters to do with the Cyprus problem.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says Cyprus and France and the presidents of the two countries both wish for further cooperation, while also expressing support for restarting peace talks.

Le Drian, who was on working visit to Nicosia on Friday, held a press conference alongside his counterpart, Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides, following their meeting.

London, 1990. Six-year old Skevi, of Cypriot background, was late for class at her Greek community school, which left her unable to find somewhere to sit.

She asked for a "chaera" (meaning "chair" in Cypriot). The teacher knew what a "chaera" was, but refused to help Skevi and left her standing by the classroom door.

Jane Holl Lute, the special envoy of the UN Secretary General, wasted no time following a busy week by visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday.

The visit was not announced ahead of time but it was made known after the fact by a post on Cavusoglu's Twitter account.

Turkey has slammed a report by the U.N. Security Council on the extension of a peace force in Cyprus, saying the appointment of a new special advisor does not mean "any restart of the negotiation process," which ended in 2017.

The United Nations Secretary-General's temporary special consultant on Cyprus, Jane Holl Lute, met with Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akıncı on July 23.

UN special envoy Jane Holl Lute is reportedly on the move, with sources learning that she is expected to meet with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiasdes on July 23 during her tour to Nicosia, Athens, and Ankara.

Turkey's aggressive behavior constitutes a threat in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region, Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades said on Friday, during a speech at the summit meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government in London.

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades discussed the attack on Syria and Turkey blocking Cyprus's energy search during talks with British PM Theresa May in London on Tuesday.

He said his talks with the UK Prime Minister, "were very useful because it provided an opportunity to explain and project the problems we face with regard to the efforts for the resolution of the Cyprus problem"'
