Turkey’s president unwavering on two-state policy to resolve Cyprus’ ethnic division

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:08 GMT

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Turkey’s president said Monday that any deal resolving Cyprus’ nearly half-century ethnic division must be based on recognition of a breakaway Turkish Cypriot state in the island nation’s northern third.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s remarks in the north during his first overseas visit after his reelection last month aren’t new, but suggest that Ankara’s policy line on Cyprus remains unwavering, despite international condemnation of the two-state deal proposal that runs contrary to U.N. resolutions calling for a single, federated Cyprus. “No one can bear to waste another 50 years of time,” Erdogan said during a joint news conference with Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar. “If there is to be a return to the negotiating table, the only way to do this is to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.”It also dashes hopes harbored by Cyprus’ internationally-recognized government of a speedy return to negotiations, although a spokesman f...

PARÍS — La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO), anunció este lunes que Estados Unidos planea reincorporarse a la agencia cultural y científica de la ONU, y pagar más de 600 millones de dólares en cuotas atrasadas, después de una disputa de una década provocada por la decisión de la organización de incluir a Palestina como integrante.Los funcionarios estadounidenses dicen que la decisión de regresar estuvo motivada por la preocupación de que China esté llenando el vacío dejado por Estados Unidos en la formulación de políticas de la UNESCO, en particular en el establecimiento de estándares para la Inteligencia Artificial y la educación tecnológica en todo el mundo.El subsecretario de Estado para Gestión y Recursos de Estados Unidos, Richard Verma, envió una carta la semana pasada a la directora general de la UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay, en la que formalizaba el plan de su gobierno para reincorporarse.
