United Nations Special Adviser Espen Barth Eide is pushing Turkey’s side in the collapsed unity talks to reunify Cyprus, the leader of the island’s centrist DIKO party said.

The Cypriot parliament will vote Saturday on a controversial bill to streamline bank foreclosures of bad debts, Finance Committee chairman Nicolas Papadopoulos said, amid fears some people could lose their homes.

International lenders will withhold the next payment in Greek Cyprus’s 10 billion euros bailout unless parliament this week passes a crucial law speeding up foreclosures of non-performing banks loans (NPLs).
