Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides has said that he discussed the Cyprus problem with US President Donald Trump, on the sidelines of the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El Sheikh that took place on Monday.
Invited Tuesday by journalists to say what he has discussed with the US President during their brief meeting, President Christodoulides said that “all I can say is that the issue that was discussed is the Cyprus problem.”
The President, who was arriving at the Conference of the Academy of the Law Office, in Nicosia, was asked about the participation of Cyprus in the Gaza Peace Summit held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. He said that despite the fact that there were some who did not want the Cyprus to be present at the Summit, “we were invited by both the US President and the President of Egypt”. It is important, he said, “that we were very specific, as we did in October 2023, in Paris, when we first presented the ‘Amalthea’ initiative’”, the sea corridor for humanitarian aid from Cyprus to Gaza.

Meanwhile, invited to comment on the fact that Simon Aykut, who is accused for usurpation of Greek Cypriot properties in the Northern Cyprus , pleaded -before a Cypriot court -guilty to 40 charges, Christodoulides clarified at first that he does not interfere in matters of the judiciary.
Beyond that, he claimed , this admission proves “the correctness of the Government’s policy, a policy that should had been followed for many years now.”
