Coffee and politics at the 'traitors club' in a divided Cyprus

The podcast examines the Cyprus division 50 years after the Turkish military invasion, focusing on its impact and the search for reunification. It highlights the "Traitors Club," a group of Greek and Turkish Cypriots fostering friendships across the divide since the opening of the border in 2003. The deserted Nicosia International Airport symbolizes the frozen conflict. The podcast further explores the differing perspectives between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, the political tensions between Greece and Turkey, and Turkey's stance on a two-state solution. Correspondent Tuvan Gumruku discusses Cyprus's strategic importance in the Eastern Mediterranean, its role in regional energy resources, and the implications for Turkey's relationship with the EU and NATO.
