ehind-the-scene efforts are in progress to reshape the island’s security landscape to ensure that re-launched Cyprus peace talks have a chance of succeeding. Players in the UN-backed negotiations agree that a solution cannot be reached without a coherent and workable plan on security and guarantees. This core issue will play a pivotal role in how Cypriots will vote when an agreement is put to a referendum. Today, leaders Nicos Anastasiades and Mustafa Akinci resume talks but security is not on the agenda at this stage. Nevertheless, the Cyprus Weekly understands that diplomats and experts have started looking into different scenarios, hoping they can be tabled successfully at the appropriate time. The two sides stand diametrically opposed, with each sticking to proposals that leave no margin for compromise. Greek Cypriots demand the abolition of guarantor powers – Greece, Turkey, and Britain - while Turkish Cypriots insists on Ankara retaining intervention rights. >6

Tomorrow is European Night of Museums and Monday is International Museum Day so what better time for a free visit to one of Cyprus’ many fascinating museums? The theme this year is ‘Museums for a Sustainable Society’ and plenty of related events have been organised until May 25
