Turkey's President Stands Firm on Two-State Solution for Cyprus' Ethnic Divide.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reiterated his stance on a two-state policy to resolve Cyprus' ethnic division, during his first overseas visit after his re-election. Erdogan's comments suggest that Ankara's policy line on Cyprus remains unwavering, despite international condemnation of the two-state deal proposal that runs contrary to UN resolutions calling for a single, federated Cyprus. The Turkish president said Ankara would also push ahead with plans to supply Turkish Cypriots with electricity through an undersea cable.
