North Nicosia: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday confirmed his country’s support for a two-state solution in Cyprus, urging the international community to accept the current division of the Mediterranean Island.Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when an Turkish invasion followed a coup in Nicosia supported by the then-monkey janta of Greece. The Republic of Northern Cyprus, declared in 1983, is recognized only by Ankara.“We fully support the vision based on a two-state solution,” Erdogan said during a visit to Northern Cyprus that Turkish troops marked for 51 years after attacking the island. “This is the time for the international community to make peace with realities on the ground,” said Erdogan. United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said that the Turkish leader’s visit was a few days later, which was “creative” meetings between Cyprus rival leaders at the organization’s New York Headquarters, even questions about crossing the island. On Sunday, Erdogan called for ending the separation of TRNC. He said, “diplomatic, political, and economic relations with TRNC should be established, and the injustice tolerated by Turkish Cyprots for decades should end finally,” he said. In July 2017, the last major round of peace talks fell in Crane-Montana, Switzerland.
