November 2, 2025
Turkey is planning to leverage Tufan Erhiyurman's role in a broader strategic game aimed at influencing situations in Cyprus. Reports suggest that this plan includes utilizing Erhiyurman's 'positive image' and the expectations created by his election. While tactical changes may occur, Turkey's strategic objectives remain unchanged. Specifically, Turkey aims to achieve political and military control in Cyprus. This situation is closely linked to Turkey's involvement in the new architecture of European security and its relationships with the EU.
