A push to resolve Greek-Turkish disputes after upcoming elections?

Last week at the Delphi Economic Forum we heard Greece’s main western partners - notably the US and Germany - hint that there will be a push to resolve long-standing Greek-Turkish disputes after the upcoming elections.

Today, despite international condemnation, UN resolutions, and calls for negotiations, the Cyprus issue remains one of the world's...
