Tatar and Christodoulides to Meet on January 20
TRNC President Ersin Tatar and Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides will meet on January 20 at the residence of the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Cyprus, Colin Stewart, located in the buffer zone. The meeting, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20, will focus on discussions about opening new crossing points.
Proposals for New Crossing Points
Previously, President Tatar emphasized the need for a second vehicular crossing point in Nicosia to alleviate congestion at the Metehan crossing. He proposed the opening of the Haspolat crossing, which aims to ease vehicular traffic and enhance trade volume between the two sides under the Green Line Regulation.
During a joint press conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Tatar reiterated his call to the Greek Cypriot leader to present a proposal for a new crossing point if the Haspolat opening requires reciprocity.
Greek Cypriot Response
The Greek Cypriot side has reportedly countered by requesting horizontal and south-to-south transit crossings rather than proposing another crossing point to reciprocate the Haspolat opening.
