Kyrenia Mayor Calls for Separate Meeting with UN Envoy After Omission
WHY IT MATTERS
Kyrenia’s demand for a separate meeting ensures its residents’ rights and return plans are addressed, preventing exclusion from future administrative arrangements and maintaining equitable treatment among occupied municipalities.
What happened
Kyrenia’s mayor, Akis Violaris, announced that the municipality will request its own meeting with UN envoy Maria Angela Holguin after Famagusta and Morphou secured talks with her. Violaris said Kyrenia had not asked for a meeting earlier because the occupied municipalities had jointly sent a letter requesting a collective audience.
The municipality protested its exclusion, labeling it “unacceptable” and questioning whether a “two‑tier” refugee policy was being applied. Violaris expressed concern that a plan was being drafted to return Morphou and Famagusta to Greek Cypriot administration while Kyrenia was omitted.
He urged that residents be allowed to return safely with full rights. President Nikos Christodoulides briefed the delegation on ongoing talks, and the Famagusta mayor will meet Holguin on Saturday, with a trilateral meeting slated for November 9.
