Erhurman's Visit to Ankara and the Two-State Policy
November 14, 2025
Tufan Erhurman visited Ankara and reaffirmed his commitment to the two-state line in Cyprus, as his predecessor did. Erdogan stated that the resolution of the Cyprus issue has not been achieved due to the Greek Cypriot side's refusal to accept equality. Erhurman emphasized that the Turkish Cypriot community is one of the two equal partners on the island and that political equality is non-negotiable. He also highlighted the importance of dialogue and negotiations in solving problems. This stance strengthens the position of the Turkish Cypriots on security issues and other aspects of the island.
