According to a statement from the Directorate of Communications of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, President Erdoğan said that Turkey appreciates the steps taken recently by the United Kingdom on the Cyprus issue and that the two-state solution would lead to a “win-win” situation in terms of new regional cooperation opportunities not only for the two sides on the island but for all.
