Averof Neophytou requests meeting with President Christodoulides regarding Cyprus issue

Former Democratic Rally (DISY) leader Averof Neophytou has formally requested a meeting with President Nikos Christodoulides ahead of upcoming diplomatic engagements in New York. The discussions are centered on the Cyprus issue, which Neophytou has described as a national priority that stands above all other political considerations.

During his communication on September 16, 2026, Neophytou expressed his commitment to supporting the President's efforts to reach a strategic solution. He emphasized that he is taking every possible initiative to assist in these negotiations, suggesting that the current diplomatic period may represent one of the final opportunities to resolve the long-standing national problem. His stated position is that if President Christodoulides manages to secure a viable strategic agreement, he will provide full and active support to the administration.

The initiative aims to foster a unified stance among political leadership before international stakeholders gather in New York. While the President’s office has not released a specific schedule for the requested meeting, the overture highlights the internal political atmosphere as Cyprus prepares for critical negotiations.
