There was nothing positive to come out of the meeting, Holguin informing journalists after the meeting that the two leaders had “not yet” responded to her call, a day earlier, for more progress. Christodoulides took five proposals to Wednesday’s talks, presumably in response to Erhurman’s four proposals, on the methodology for the process. Erhurman wants the building of trust and confidence, before there is a resumption of talks. Christodoulides presented his own five proposals on Wednesday, by which confidence-building measures such as the opening of more crossings would be introduced only after the resumption of talks is agreed at an enlarged meeting. Predictably, the two leaders will use disagreements over the process – a practice as old as the Cyprus problem – to avoid substantive talks.
