To prevent the final partition of Cyprus: Protopapas' assessment of Guterres' initiative

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres aims to exhaust all possibilities for substantive negotiations before his term ends to prevent the permanent partition of Cyprus. Political analyst Vasilis Protopapas emphasized that the SG's recent visit was not merely ceremonial, but a strategic effort to revive the peace process toward a bizonal, bicommunal federation. Guterres is willing to convene an informal multilateral conference, provided there is serious preparation and genuine political will from all involved parties to achieve a meaningful, result-oriented solution.
