Ersin Tatar is attempting to create a new participation format for the informal multilateral meeting on the Cyprus issue, aiming to keep Britain out of the negotiations. Nicosia countered by emphasizing the importance of British presence and clarified its position as an interested party. Tatar announced that the meeting will take the form of 4+1+1, proposing an approach focused on cooperation between the two communities and the guarantor powers. Despite the challenges, Tatar asserts that the Turkish Cypriot side will continue to seek collaboration and dialogue.
