The appointment of Rafael Fito as the European Union's special representative for the Cyprus issue has sparked significant controversy from the Turkish Cypriot side. Ersin Tatar, the former Turkish Cypriot leader, criticized the move as "provocative" and indicating a biased approach by the EU towards the Turkish Cypriot community. Tatar stated that Fito lacks the legitimacy needed to engage in the negotiations concerning the Cyprus issue, claiming that his appointment serves to reinforce the EU's partiality against Turkish Cypriots.
The Turkish Cypriot foreign ministry condemned the appointment, describing it as a unilateral intervention by the EU in the ongoing Cyprus discussions, particularly in light of an upcoming informal meeting. The ministry emphasized that the decision was taken without proper consultation or consent from the Turkish Cypriot community, which they believe undermines the principles of dialogue and negotiation. Meanwhile, Turkey, which views the appointment as an internal EU matter, reiterated its stance that the EU has lost its neutrality on the Cyprus issue since 2004. The situation indicates heightened tensions in the discussions around Cyprus as both sides prepare for upcoming engagements.
