Greek and Turkish Cypriots have been preparing for new talks on reunifying their island.

This time, the United Nations has asked them to figure out not how to share power, territory and resources, but whether they want a shared future at all.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will oversee three days of informal discussions starting in Geneva on Tuesday between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, joined by the foreign ministers of Cyprus’ “guarantors” – Greece, Turkey, and former colonial ruler the United Kingdom.

Radio Islam spoke to Suha Cubukcouglu, an engineer, a businessman, and a research professional working at the intersection of technology, policy, and international affairs, regarding the latest developments regarding the Island.
