A Critical Look at Cypriot Foreign Policy

The article presents a critical view of Cypriot foreign policy through a personal narrative. The author, a diplomat with extensive experience, expresses his frustration with the lack of results and the ineptitude of Cypriot leaders. Specifically, he focuses on the consent of the Cypriot Foreign Minister, Konstantinos Kombos, to the election of a Turkish diplomat to the leadership of the OSCE, without securing any concessions for Cyprus.
