Nicosia, Cyprus. A scheduled meeting between President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman has been postponed to next Wednesday, September 9, at 10.30am.
Rescheduled talks
Government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Monday that the meeting, originally scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed following a request from the Turkish Cypriot side.

Negotiators’ meeting affected
