Description
The year 2009 may well make or break the protracted Cyprus conflict. Yet while strategic assessments and elite incentives bode cautiously well for a settlement, ultimately an agreement will have to be approved by the two Cypriot communities and above all it will have to be implemented by them on the ground. In view of the centrality of the people in this peace process, as indeed in any other, CEPS, in collaboration with Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot partners, launched a project in late 2007 to investigate, through successive opinion polls, what Cypriots think of each other, of the peace process and of possible solutions to the conflict.
