Erhurman Remains Firm on Four Conditions: Claims Ignorance of Christodoulides' Proposals

Tufan Erhurman remains firm on his four conditions for the Cyprus issue, erecting a wall of intransigence ahead of Olgun's new visit. He demands political equality, including a rotating presidency, as a non-negotiable element. He claims ignorance of Christodoulides' proposals for the Economy and Education, arguing that his approval is not required for unilateral measures. Erhurman's stance creates a negative atmosphere ahead of Olgun's contacts with the two leaders, which are expected to take place next Monday. Erhurman has warned that he will not back down from his positions, while the Commission is expected to discuss its proposals for unilateral gestures with President Christodoulides.
