On April 27-29, the “5 + 1” group meetings on Cyprus were held in Geneva.
And without finding sufficient common ground to start formal negotiations to resolve the Cyprus issue, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday.
The “5 + 1” group consists of the three guarantor countries (Greece, Turkey and Britain), in addition to the two parts of the island of Cyprus (Turkish and Rumi), in addition to the United Nations.
Since 1974, Cyprus has suffered from a split between Turkey in the north and Rumi in the south.

Since the collapse of the UN-sponsored Cyprus reunification talks in Switzerland in July 2017, no formal UN-brokered negotiations have taken place to settle the island’s dispute.
