Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar rejected the idea of a tripartite meeting with Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides and UN envoy María Angela Holguín, citing recent arrests related to property issues as a reason. Tatar labeled these arrests as 'terrorist activities' and emphasized the need to resolve property disputes before any meeting. Christodoulides expressed sadness over Tatar's comments and reiterated the judiciary's independence in the matter. The ongoing division of Cyprus since 1974 and the recent arrests of individuals involved in illegal property development were highlighted.
