Averof Neofytou meets President ahead of New York talks on Cyprus
Former DISY leader Averof Neofytou says he is doing all he can for a Cyprus solution, calling the upcoming effort possibly the last, after meeting President Nikos Christodoulides.
Former Democratic Rally (DISY) leader Averof Neofytou met with President Nikos Christodoulides ahead of the upcoming meetings on the Cyprus issue in New York, as reported by the source. In a statement after the meeting, Neofytou stressed that the Cyprus problem remains, for him, above all else, and that he is making every possible effort towards a settlement.
"As I have stated many times, our national problem is, as far as I am concerned, above all," he said. He also described the current push for a Cyprus solution as possibly the last attempt.
Neofytou repeated his position that he will stand by the President of the Republic if a strategic agreement on Cyprus is reached. "In what may be the last attempt for Cyprus, I am doing whatever I can towards a solution. I also reiterated my public position that if the President reaches a strategic agreement on Cyprus, he will find me at his side," he noted.
What it means for residents
The Cyprus problem directly shapes daily life on the island — from property and travel to security and the economy. Political backing for the President ahead of talks in New York signals that key figures are aligning behind a possible settlement, which could affect long-standing practical issues if progress is made.
- Property and displaced families: Any movement towards a solution could eventually reopen discussions on property claims and resettlement, though no immediate changes are expected.
- Travel and crossings: A breakthrough might ease movement across the Green Line, but until then existing arrangements remain unchanged.
- What to do: Keep following official announcements and avoid acting on rumours about property or status changes before any formal agreement is confirmed.
