Athens' Backroom Games with President - 'Nationally Detrimental' - 'Trump Solution Coming'

A Greek website, Power Game, has published an article outlining a grim scenario for the Cyprus issue, with references to behind-the-scenes dealings between the US and Turkey. The article claims that the United States, under Donald Trump, and Turkey are seeking to 'close' the Cyprus issue in a 'violent' manner, which will also have implications for Greece. It refers to a closed meeting in Germany, where expectations were expressed for an agreement to be imposed on Cyprus without substantial consultation. Furthermore, it is claimed that there is coordination between Israel and Turkey under Trump's supervision, which is influencing developments in the region. The article strongly criticizes President Christodoulides, characterizing his governance as 'nationally detrimental' and warns of a possible solution to the Cyprus issue within 2027.
