“It must be understood that results cannot be achieved under the current parameters of a negotiation process that has lasted more than half a century,” Erdogan said.

Turkey has previously said that a two-state mechanism is needed to solve the Cyprus problem, but accused the Greek Cypriot government of failing to enter into talks.
At the press conference, Ersin Tatar said that a Turkish proposal to hold an informal meeting with the participation of Turkey, North Cyprus, Greek Cypriots, Greece and the UN is “the last chance” for an agreement.

The nationalist Ersin Tatar has surprisingly won the October “presidential” elections in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

In a decision criticized by the UN, Greece and the Greek Cypriots, northern Cyprus partially reopened before the elections access to the coastal resort of Varosha, banned by the Turkish army after the invasion of the island’s north by Ankara 46 years ago.

“I think it will be beneficial to have a picnic there all together. We see on TV how it is there, but we want to feel it personally. By the will of Allah, we will do this, “said the Turkish president.
