Ankara's Political Support in Cypriot Developments
February 14, 2026
Ankara seeks to maintain full control over the Cypriot dialogue, as Tufan Erhurman briefed Hakan Fidan after his meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Erhurman stated that the meeting lasted longer than originally planned, which he interprets as a positive sign of the UN chief's engagement. He emphasized the need for discussions around the four-point methodology they presented. Erhurman pointed out that Guterres’s attention to the situation remains strong, hoping for a positive evolution in the talks. Ankara seems determined to continue this specific political approach towards Cyprus.
