October 13, 2026

The President aims for progress and is open to concessions. However, acknowledging Turkey's responsibility for the lack of progress remains a critical shortcoming. The significant role of Turkey in the negotiations is emphasized. Political developments and presidentialism influence relationships and negotiation strategies.
