The Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders, along with foreign ministers of the three guarantor states Turkey, Greece and Britain, came together for open-ended discussions on the future of Cyprus in the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana on June 28. The five-party talks are a continuation of the attempt that first commenced on Jan. 12 under the auspices of U.N.

The Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot leaders are set to meet once again at an open-ended conference to be reconvened in the Swiss resort of Crans Montana on June 28 with the participation of the three guarantor powers - Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom - in a bid to end decades-old division and settle for a united new state for the island.
 

The leaders of Turkish and Greek Cypriots will meet once again at an open-ended conference to be reconvened in the Swiss resort of Crans Montana on June 28 with the participation of three guarantor powers -Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom- in a bid to end decades-old division and to come to an agreement for a united new state on the island. 

The Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders, Mustafa Akıncı and Nikos Anastasiades, will meet in Crans-Montana, Switzerland on June 28. The meeting comes after strong pressure from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Gueterres to hold another conference in order to bring the two parties closer to a breakthrough with the participation of three guarantor countries: Turkey, Greece and the United Kingdom.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has said the upcoming conference on Cyprus is the "final opportunity" to reach a lasting and comprehensive solution to the decades-old problem, calling Greek Cyprus to adopt a constructive attitude and sincere will. 

Turkey has expressed its disapproval of the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) bid to hold a referendum for independence, warning about the spillover effect of such a move on regional countries, in reaction to KRG President Massoud Barzani's announcement for a poll to this end. 

Turkey and Greece's respective foreign ministers, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Nikos Kotzias, will meet in New York to discuss the Cyprus reunification talks in Geneva next week, Turkish diplomatic sources have said. 

Both Çavuşoğlu and Kotzias are in New York to separately meet new U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Gueterres, with the former set to meet the new chief on Jan. 5.
