“One island, two states... the only way forward” - TRNC FM

“One island, two states, two national entities, two democracies. This is the only way forward.”

This is the solution to the Cyprus conflict Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) FM Tahsin Ertugruloglu proposes.

There is no two states there is Cyprus and its occupier with sheer force nothing else

There is Armenian minority on the island too. Should they also get a piece of Cyprus?

Greek Cypriots are in panic and desperately seeking for international pressure to “unite” the island which is for many years in just an imagination.

Foreign Minister said very well; there is nothing like Cypriots ethnicity and identity. There are Turks and Greeks on the island.

We have our own state for many years, international recognition is a technical issue. Actually UN has no authority to call and ask
other sovereign countries not to recognize Turkish Republic of northern Cyprus.
I am sure recognition is very soon.
Strongly encouraged and rely on our allies.

❤️🇹🇷

Funny how Artsakh didn’t get the same consideration, but Turkey only respecting international law when it suits them is par for the course

Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.

free Cyprus free Kurdistan free Hagia Sophia

[tombuddy]

In that case, how about one Anatolia, two democratic states: "Turkiye" and "Kurdistan"?

[jovannacarranza]

I support Turkey 🇹🇷 and I think Turkey 🇹🇷 should have full control of Cypress not Grease 🇬🇷.

If there is an ancient region where people want to separate themselves from the "motherland" (or the occupier), then free elections should make that possible and (at least partially) enable separation and independence.
Because the "governing country" will no longer be able to lead this group of people without violence under the neglected and long outdated regulations anyway...
Many regions have published a demand for more independence [ Western Sahara, Tibet, Pyrenees, (Bavaria, Saxony ;) ... ]
But a possible (at least partial) separation should be driven by the desire of an (ethnic/historical regional-language) majority to be polled in an independent electoral process, and not driven by extremists...
(ballots in Basque, Cherokee, Tibetan, Swabian, Saxon...etc.)

But in one island, one partner is Turkiye and are Turks. Another partner is Greece and Greeks. And the world see Turks, like as the enemy of the world. Sometimes they say their words openly, sometimes from inside they hate us but from outside think about us
Greeks are loving from the world because of us. Because of us, all the world helps Greeks. Greeks should thanks to Turks
Turks are behind of Turks😔😪
What can we do? who kill us they are being "lovely ones" and getting help from the world😳

Shame on you. Two islands and two democracies? You don't feel ashamed? You call yourself a Muslim? Where is your zeal for your religion? Why you don't try to push for Islamic Shari'a? You feel embarrassed by it? May Allah deal with you
