Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reaffirmed Turkey’s long-standing position on the Cyprus issue, advocating for a two-state solution during his discussions with the Turkish Cypriot leadership. He emphasized that the 50-year-old formula for resolving the issue is outdated and highlighted the necessity to legitimize the current situation on the island, where two separate entities govern themselves. Fidan argued that a two-state solution would lead to stability in Cyprus’s economy, tourism, and energy sectors, contributing to global peace.
