Reasoning of the conference

We live in volatile times. In the wake of the economic crisis, Cyprus experiencing, as is the EU itself, multiple crises: a crisis of the economy, politics, identity and society. The wars in the Middle East have led millions of people to flee; also fundamentalists hit targets within Europe, whilst we are experiencing a dangerous rise of far right groups and ideologies in the entire spectrum of politics, identity and society. Turkey is undergoing a dangerous restructuring with Erdogan’s autocratic rule.

This is the unstable context within which the resumed talks to resolve the Cyprus problem is taking place. We are at a crossroads: either we will move decisively to a solution, or we move into the consolidation of partition.

Is there is hope? What are the prospects of reconciliation in Cyprus, the region, Europe and the world?
