 Spyros Kyprianou - Telegraph
SPYROS KYPRIANOU, the former president of Cyprus who has died aged 69, was a fierce opponent of the division of the island; his 11-year presidency was marked by a blend of political pragmatism, astute diplomacy and stubborn determination.
Spyros Kyprianou was born at Limassol on October 28 1932, one of nine children of a prosperous businessman.
However, Kyprianou remained in the background, advising Makarios quietly on diplomatic tactics while the Turkish Cypriot leader, Rauf Denktash, declared the occupied north of the island to be a Turkish Cypriot federated state, with himself as president.

 Spyros Kyprianou | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Spyros Kyprianou, who has died of cancer aged 69, was the president of Cyprus for 11 years and the man who chose, twice, to pass over the opportunity of reunifying the island when its estranged Greek and Turkish communities came the closest ever to making peace.
Kyprianou, who was born in the seaside town of Limassol, belonged to the generation who first openly opposed British rule - echoed on the ground by the guerrillas of Eoka.
In 1996, clearly revived, Kyprianou was elected president of the house of representatives for a second time, leaving the post when parliament was dissolved on the eve of general elections last year.

A possible settlement was missed in 1985 when Kyprianou refused to sign a recently worked-out accord, fearing it conceded too much to the other side.

The Party, according to Andros Kyprianou, will listen carefully to the members but it will not be bound to any decision of the members.
Economy: On the socioeconomic front TP also followed his own agenda and in numerous times ignored the 'manifesto' agreed by the 3 parties on serious issues like pensions, taxation, benefits etc. These are issues that are considered crucial for the base and members of Akel and cannot be ignored.
In my opinion this is a plausible scenario and I do not thing that TP will refuse to negotiate with Akel at a time that he will be in the need of another 17-20% of the electorate to get a 2nd term in office.

 Party Politics in Cyprus
Kyprianou's thesis was that the Cyprus problem should be internationalized, that the main emphasis should be placed not on talking to Denkta
This appeared to place Kyprianou in a weak position for the approaching Presidential election of 1983 especially because of a rift between him and AKEL, which withdrew its support from the Government because it had lost confidence in the President's handling of the Cypriot problem.
Consequently it announced well in advance its endorsement of Kyprianou, whose re-election, when in due course it came, was thus entirely thanks to the communist vote.
