NICOSIA, July 21 — Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted yesterday on a two-state solution in Cyprus and threw his weight behind plans for a coastal resort that was emptied of its original Greek Cypriot residents to be partially reopened.
“No progress can be made in negotiations without accepting that there are two peoples and two states with equal status,” he said. Turkey’s foreign ministry hit back, accusing Borrell of “acting as a spokesperson or advocate for the Greek Cypriot administration”. He dismissed a warning this month from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that Brussels would “never accept” a two-state solution for Cyprus, an EU member since 2004.
“Life will restart in Varosha,” Erdogan said on the second day of a visit to the north, renewing an offer of financial compensation for Greek Cypriots who lost properties in 1974.Once a playground that hosted Hollywood celebrities, Varosha lay abandoned for decades. Erdogan visited Varosha the following month in a move denounced by the Republic of Cyprus as a “provocation without precedent”.
