Is Cyprus moving closer to reunification?

"The Inquiry" podcast explores the complex issue of Cyprus reunification, presenting perspectives from four expert witnesses. The discussion covers the historical division of the island, past failed attempts at reunification like the Annan Plan, and the current political landscape, including the election of a new Turkish Cypriot leader open to a federal solution. The podcast further examines geopolitical factors, such as the strategic importance of Cyprus, tensions between Turkey and Israel, and the role of natural gas resources. While there's cautious optimism about renewed talks, significant obstacles remain, including differing views on security, political equality, and governance, as well as a growing sentiment that reunification may never happen. The podcast concludes that while a full reunification might be impossible, a loose federation with limited central government powers could be a potential path forward.
