The Cyprus problem: a solution is possible

"The Cyprus problem: a solution is possible
By Max Gevers

THE ONGOING negotiations on the Cyprus problem are almost devoid of political context. They are 'stand-alone', predominantly bureaucratic and do not reflect the political nature of the problem.

The negotiations must be complemented by a setting in a broader international context in which Turkey has a clear inducement to help achieve and implement a solution. Uncorrected, both deficiencies will derail the negotiations or lead them to a dead end. This would have serious international repercussions and a far broader impact than on Cyprus alone."
