The Limited Role of Ersin Tatar in Cyprus Developments
July 4, 2025
Ersin Tatar, the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, appears to be merely a spectator in the developments regarding Cyprus, as he admitted in meetings with President Christodoulides. Specifically, he stated that decisions on critical issues, such as the checkpoints, belong to the military and not to him. Additionally, he mentioned that he does not ask Erdogan about political matters, but simply responds to his guidance. This situation complicates any potential progress in resolving the Cyprus issue.
