European Parliament president backs UN naming an envoy to help restart Cyprus peace talks
NICOSIA, Cyprus — The president of the European Parliament said Sunday she has conveyed the legislative body’s support for the appointment of a United Nations envoy to evaluate the chances of resuming stalemated talks to reunify ethnically divided Cyprus.
“This is not just a Cyprus question, but it is a European question,” she said after talks with the island nation’s President Nikos Christodoulides. The talks have been in a deep freeze since the last attempt at a peace deal ended in the summer of 2017. U.N. peacekeepers maintain a buffer zone between the Turkish Cypriot northern third of the island and the Greek Cypriot south. Turkey, the only nation that recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence, keeps more than 35,000 troops in northern Cyprus.Cyprus joined the EU in 2004, but only the southern part, where the internationally recognized government is seated, enjoys full membership benefits.
