Stefanos Stefanou, the Secretary-General of the left-wing political party AKEL in Cyprus, emphasized the importance of resuming negotiations concerning the Cyprus issue from the point where discussions were halted during the Crans-Montana Conference. In remarks made during a special session, he pointed out that discussions should be based on the agreements previously reached and reiterated the party's commitment to the framework of a bizonal, bicommunal federation as a realistic solution to end the longstanding Turkish occupation and achieve reunification.

Stefanou argued that abandoning the concept of a bizonal, bicommunal federation would limit the chances of resolving the dispute effectively. He asserted that the attainment of both the end of Turkish occupation and the reunification of Cyprus is feasible within this framework. His statements align with a broader narrative among AKEL members who advocate for a collaborative approach to re-engage in the peace talks, underlining the necessity for political dialogue to move forward.
