No Speculation Allowed at Unofficial Leaders’ Dinner, Says BRTK

President Ersin Tatar to Attend Informal Dinner in New York for Cyprus Issue

Special Representative of the President Güneş Onar stated that the informal dinner where President Ersin Tatar will meet with the President of the Greek Cypriot Administration, Nikos Hristodulides, hosted by the UN Secretary General in New York on October 15, will be an opportunity to start a new chapter.

The official statement from the Presidency highlighted Güneş Onar’s words, “President Tatar accepted the informal dinner invitation from Mr. Guterres during their bilateral meeting in New York on September 28. The agreed model is very clear. The Leaders meeting at this informal dinner without any specific agenda will assess the current situation and discuss potential next steps.”

Special Representative Onar emphasized the need to evaluate the developments following the end of Personal Representative Holguin’s term on July 12, 2024, taking into account both bilateral and regional circumstances. Onar mentioned the importance of not engaging in dialogue without substance, as it would only normalize the unsustainable status quo created on March 4, 1964, which marginalizes the Turkish Cypriot People.

He further explained that the outdated federation model for negotiation has repeatedly failed, and a new approach is crucial to make progress. President Tatar’s proposal for a new solution vision, emphasizing sovereign equality and equal international status, will be reiterated during the informal dinner.

Onar highlighted the urgency to address the ongoing human tragedy in the region and the importance of cooperation for the benefit of both communities on the island. He expressed the Turkish Cypriot side’s readiness to engage in projects that promote mutual gains and equality, emphasizing the commitment to resolving crises through dialogue and diplomacy.

The unofficial dinner, scheduled for October 15 in New York, is seen as a crucial opportunity to shift the Cyprus issue towards a more constructive path after years of failed negotiations. President Tatar’s vision for a new approach based on equality and cooperation will be central to the discussions, aiming to bring about a positive change in the long-standing conflict.
