After almost four decades as a divided island, Cyprus is closer than ever to reunification, according to a long-standing negotiator outlining the current state of play. The prospects are promising as talks between Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders have been boosted by the contents of a joint declaration initiated by the Greek-Cypriots to provide “parameters for a solution” before beginning a new round of talks. With this declaration and continuing talks, Cyprus is on the final push to settle the situation.
