CYPRUS | Can It Still Be Solved?

For over sixty years, the UN has tried to broker a Cyprus agreement. But what little hope existed for a settlement seems to be finally fading. So, do you still think Cyprus can be solved? And, if reunification isn't possible, then what's the realistic alternative? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and comments below.

I was 8 years old we left all my toys behind thinking I’ll be back in a few days , 48 years later still waiting

I would love to see a video discussing how Cyprus was incorporated into the European Union, despite the fractured nature of the island.

I know the story of modern Cyprus, however Professor James Ker-Lindsay presents so well and provides such excellent coverage — a compelling discussion that is an absolute pleasure to view. Many thanks PJKL.

I am involved and work in the political-I.R field since I was adolescent, this informative video is undoubtedly correct, summary and unbiased, and maintains viewer's interest. Well done!

James, it is so nice hearing you explain conflict either at university or online. Thank you!)

Yay at last a new episode. I was getting tired of watching reruns of Taiwan, Bosnia, Romanian reunification etc 😅

Hi James, I am an Englishman, aged 26 who lived in TRNC for 18 months between 2020-2022. I first visited in 2017 and have been there ~5 times for total of ~2 years. I moved (temporarily, mind) in 2020 as my partner being a Turkish speaking Cypriot, personal circumstances and COVID-19. In turn I ended up living with her family such is the standard Cypriot atittude to hospitality and family life. I'd like to think I have a good grasp on the events going on in Cyprus. Having been with my partner for 6 years, working in Cyprus and having copious conversations on the Cyprus problem with natives. Your video here is without the best summary of events I've seen. There was an American documentarian who for me, made a mockery of the Cyprus problem. Alas, you've nailed it on the head. Thank you for bringing the news and details which unfortunately Cyprus just doesn't manage to get out to the west themselves. I think due to Cyprus' island nature, lack of high quality and unbiased content, there isn't much that gets out.

This is the best analysis of the situation I have ever heard. To the point, balanced, measured and based in reality. Not afraid to suggest that perhaps, time has simply run out for unification to succeed.

Keep doing the detailed source presentation of conflict in other international disputed entities as in this one! Only when knowing both sides arguments can an average viewer learn about it. Cheers from Croatia

You’ve outdone yourself, sir! Keep it up, and thank you.

Glad you are back!

I've been in Cyprus a couple of years ago, and I was amazed by this beautiful island. I really hope the cypriots can find peace without the interference of foreign countries.

Well done Prof, very well explained

It's a rare thing to see unbiased videos on the Cyprus dispute. Excellent analysis.

Thank you for all these very interesting videos! Cool to have one on location :D

Welcome back after two weeks of break, Mr James.

Great to see you out again James, presenting on location!

Great video, very informative. I taught English in Cyprus around 10 years ago, I feel it is time to return, really a fantastic place.
