German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that a two-state solution for Cyprus is not an option and Germany will continue to push for a de-escalation of tensions on the island.
“Germany is solidly on your side. A solution can only be found based on the basis of United Nations resolutions,” said Baerbock during a joint news conference with her Greek Cypriot counterpart, Ioannis Kasoulides.
Partition cannot be a solution,” said Kasoulides. “There are three elections coming up, in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey, and certainly efforts in moving forward to resuming a dialogue can only start after the Turkish elections,” he added.
