Abstract: As direct high-level talks continue between
the Cypriot President Demetris Christofias and Turkish
Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, there is one aspect of
the settlement process that necessarily requires the
active participation of external actors: security. This
talk examined a range of security questions and issues
that need to be tackled, such as demilitarisation, the
presence of foreign troops, the Treaty of Guarantee,
peacekeeping and ensuring the post-solution defence of
Cyprus. The talk was followed by a discussion with
participants at the seminar.

Junta Coup
and Turkish invasion of the island of Cyprus
and to protest the continuing presence of the Turkish
army of occupation in Cyprus 34 years later
