The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Türkiye Hakan Fidan stated that they desired a solution in Cyprus that would reflect the current reality on the island and added that a federation model could result in greater losses for the Greek Cypriots.

Fidan met with press representatives in Ankara at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and answered questions on the agenda.

About the Cyprus issue, Fidan said the EU made a historic mistake on the dispute, and for this reason Türkiye has been compelled to take a position on the matter.

He emphasized that Ankara prefers to pursue a solution with the UN and not the EU.

Fidan said Türkiye is open to good intentions and seeks a solution that reflects the current practical realities on the island.
