Eide will brief the Security Council on Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci’s talks between January 9 to 11, before providing a brief on the January 12 Geneva-based Conference on Cyprus.
Eide is also expected to inform the Security Council on Anastasiades and Akinci’s next scheduled meeting, on January 26, their first official meeting since the Conference.
According to Greek Cypriot SigmaLive sources, Anastasiades and Akinci will aim to iron out more convergences on internal aspects following a solution, such as governance.
According to Turkish Cypriot SigmaLive sources, both men will also discuss the security and guarantees issue.
BACKGROUND
January 11 saw the historic exchange of territorial adjustment maps. A day later, the Geneva-based Conference on Cyprus was convened with the island’s three guarantor powers (Greece, the UK, Turkey), the EU and UN.
Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot chief Mustafa Akinci have been engaged in UN-led talks since May 2015 aiming to reunify the island under a federal roof, following Turkey’s 1974 invasion and illegal occupation on the island.
