Yeni Başbakan Rishi Sunak’ın Kıbrıs Sorununa Bakışı

45 günlük görev süresiyle Birleşik Krallık tarihinde en kısa süre görevde kalan Başbakan Liz Truss’ın istifasının ardından, göreve yeni gelen Rishi Sunak ülkenin ilk Asya kökenli ve Hindu başbakanı oldu. Rishi Sunak’ın 24 Ekim’de kesinleşen başbakanlığı, 25 Ekim günü resmiyet kazandı. Başbakanlık konuşması sırasındaki jest ve mimikleri ile sosyal medyanın gündemine hızlı bir giriş yapan Rishi Sunak, etnik kökeni dolayısıyla Britanya toplumunda bir kesimin de alt-üst kimlik tartışmalarındaki ana unsur haline geldi. Görevinde henüz taze olan başbakanın, Britanya ve dünya siyaseti üzerindeki etkilerini önümüzdeki günlerde muhakkak göreceğiz. Fakat görevine yeni başlamasına rağmen Rishi Sunak’ın Kıbrıs hususu hakkındaki tutumuna daha göreve başlamadan önce net bir karar verdiğini söylememiz yanlış olmayacaktır.
