# Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked

Date: 2023

## The fact

On 28 February 2023 [Nikos Christodoulides](/people/nikos-christodoulides) took an investiture oath in the House of Representatives as president of Cyprus. Reuters recorded that he inherited a deadlock in reunification talks and called irregular migration exceptionally complex.

## Context

He had met Ersin Tatar on 23 February. Reuters recorded talks still deadlocked. Tatar and Anastasiades are unresolved.

28 February 2023 oath. Stored as one 28 February 2023 Fact. Keep Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked on 2023-02-28 separate from neighbouring 12 February 2023 runoff, 23 February 2023 Tatar meeting, 28 February 2023 oath, and 17 June 2024 immigration deputy ministry.

The President of Cyprus can take an investiture oath, name a council of ministers, and ask for a UN envoy. He does not sit as the House, as the UN, or as the Turkish Cypriot leadership. A 28 February 2023 oath is not authorship of 1974. Sharing a meeting with Ersin Tatar is not a reason to drop the recorded deadlock.

## Evidence and sources

Government of Cyprus carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned Cyprus driver: a completed oath on a reunification-top-priority line while talks were recorded as deadlocked.

## What is established and what is not

Established: He swore as president on 28 February 2023. Reuters recorded a deadlock and complex irregular migration.

Not established: A unique later settlement integer as size, or that he sat as Tatar.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Sharing a meeting with Tatar is not a reason to drop 28 February 2023.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked, not a later speech about Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked on 2023-02-28 is not a licence to treat every later Government of Cyprus communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Christodoulides sworn president; talks recorded still deadlocked into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the presidency. Sharing a meeting with Tatar is not a reason to drop 28 February 2023. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
