A strategic EU role for the Cyprus problem - Financial Mirror
==========
The article discusses the need for a strategic EU role in resolving the Cyprus problem. The author argues that the traditional negotiations process is flawed and suggests a slow, incremental process of "deliberative democracy" to reach a negotiated settlement. The author also emphasizes the importance of the international community, particularly the EU and the US, in coordinating incentives to get the leaders to agree on a new process design. The article draws inspiration from the US's approach to Greece and suggests offering Cyprus a significant upgrade in its geopolitical clout and security as a carrot for a negotiated settlement. One idea is to establish a permanent humanitarian coordination base in Cyprus after a settlement is reached. The author also discusses the potential role of the European Commission or the Secretariat-General in driving the strategic thinking about Cyprus. The article concludes by mentioning the ongoing EU-Turkey dialogue and the need for a strategic approach to both the Greek Cypriots and Turkey.
