Germany’s position in favor of a solution to the political issue of Cyprus with a “bizonal federation and representation of the two communities in the leadership of the state”, based on the decisions of the United Nations, was reiterated a while ago by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, emphasizing the willingness of his government to help restart negotiations.

“Germany still supports the solution of a bizonal federation with representation of the two communities in the leadership. The basis for this is the decisions of the United Nations. For the stalled negotiation process to finally get a new impetus, this of course requires political courage from all participants and, as I know, there is the will to do something, we talked about it at length. We want to help. Germany is willing to contribute in order to create mutual trust and we are willing – if this is desired – to support the negotiation process”, said Mr. Scholz, during the joint press conference he gave with the President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulidis
