What's behind the push for Cyprus reunifcation?
from Late Night Live - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Nearly ten years after they last collapsed, UN Secretary António Guterres has been in Cyprus, pressing for reunification talks to recommence. Cyprus has been divided between Turkish and Greek Cypriots for over fifty years, with both sides unable to agree on terms for reunification. But the pressure is on to resolve the so-called 'Cypress problem' because the island is becoming an increasingly important strategic location for both NATO and Israel, and resolving how British military bases are to be used is a key sticking point. Guest: Dr. Erol Kaymak, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Eastern Mediterranean UniversityProducer: Catherine Zengerer
