Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman agreed on November 9 to open two new crossings across Cyprus’s dividing line. UN envoy María Ángela Holguín convened the meeting in Nicosia. The crossings will open together, the UN said. Christodoulides told reporters that preparatory work must finish first.
