Abstract :The novel use of the G8 forum to initiate inter-communal talks in Cyprus is on balance aimed at persuading doubters in the EU that Greek Cypriot membership cannot be delayed by any prospect of a settlement with the Turkish Cypriot side. The significance of the G8 emphasis on UN resolutions and the absence of any promise of international financing of a settlement is discussed. The logic of the Turkish Cypriot demand for statehood in a confederation is set out, noting the absence of detail on the normal purposes of a confederation - common economic or military or diplomatic policies. An alternative route to recognition of Turkish Cypriot self-rule in the context ofTurkey-in-Europe is proposed, a degree of recognition which would end the embargo and undermine the basis of LOIZIDOU claims.
