Davutoglu Proposes Two-State Solution for Cyprus

Turkey's foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu

TBILISI—Turkey wants to negotiate a two-state solution to the Cyprus issue, if according its foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, reunification talks between the two sides fail and no agreement is reached for the establishment of a joint commission on the island’s gas resources, reported Hurriyet Daily News on Thursday.

It seems Davutoglu is unhappy that Cyprus has offered rights to oil and gas exploration around the island as collateral for an international bailout package from the European Union without taking into consideration occupied Cyprus.

In 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus, which has effectively become a divided island. No country, with the exception of Turkey, recognizes northern Cyprus as an independent nation. Yet, the Turkish foreign minister insists that its occupying forces on the island must be taken into consideration by the sovereign Cypriot government.

“We have three paths ahead … The U.N. mission should be accelerated and the sides should talk on a comprehensive solution and the resources should belong to a united Cyprus. A new state, which Turks are a part of, should be able to use them,” Davutoglu said speaking in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, where he is attending a meeting with his counterparts from Georgia and Azerbaijan.

The United Nations envoy to Cyprus Alexander Downer said earlier this month that a bid to restart stalled talks to reunify the divided island would only happen after the country concluded negotiations with prospective international creditors for a rescue loan that it needs in order not to go bankrupt.

“If this does not happen, then two sides should establish a body over the usage of resources that should jointly manage the marketing and extracting. The fund should be blocked in an account and should be used for peace process and the period after peace,” Davutoglu said, referring to reunification talks.

“If these do not happen and Greek Cyprus says ‘the resources are ours’ then it means tacitly that Turkish Cypriots own the resources in the north. If they behave according to this claim, we are ready to negotiate a two-state solution. Then these two states will meet in the EU,” warned Davutoglu.

Turkey’s bullying continues.

    An illegal northern Cyprus will remain illegal as long as there is one turkish soldier in the northern Cypriot soil! Ahmet Davutoglu can shove his proposals up his rear end . The Europeans know the turkish intentions very well! He may try to
    fool himself, but no one else would buy him… He is so cheap and reeks worse than his masters and racoons!!!

    What the hell is the matter with these Moronic Turks?? They are so delusional they actually believe that with all the genocides and thefts of lands they have committed, they did the world a “favor” and the world is eager to reward their crimes? Man I dream I see the day these arrogant legalized terrorists eat the dirt they walk on.

      Kevork,
      Your wording about Turks is very humiliating. We lived together for over 700 years and got on well. We never insult Armenians and we expect you to do the same thing.

        we did not live together for 700 years.
        Indigenous Armenians were 2nd class subjects, gyavurs in Ottoman Empire.

        Your Turk ancestors invaded the homeland of my ancestors: the Armenian Highlands.
        Your Turk ancestors exterminated about 2 million of my Armenian ancestors (1895-1923).

        We did not live together: the progeny of your nomadic invading ancestors destroyed a 5000 year sedentary civilization of my ancestors. They stole our lands, our property, out boys, our girls, our young women, our genes, our culture.

        We will never forget. We will never forgive. The Armenian Genocide committed by Turks.
        God help you guys when we become powerful enough to exact righteous retribution.

    Cypriots should not have let a single Turk on their soil, where ever Turks are allowed to settle they cause trouble and as their numbers multiply they speak of take over. All of Turkey is occupied lands. Turkey is based on genocides and stolen lands.

    I suppose he will support Artsakhs independence all the more next too then. Oh wait, consistency and coherence have never been a trait of Turkish policy. Ayo, how is the ‘good relations with all neighbours going, Ahmet’? Not so well? Pity and so surprising too.

    Very clever move. While Armenia is rotting in corruption Turkey is moving forward. Why? Because they are true nationalists! We have a lot to learn from them. We, instead of gaining land are “leasing” part of Armenia to Iranians. I wonder how many deputies/ministers have been bought to bring forward such a dangerous nonsense!!!

    Turkey condemns Israel for grabing Palestinian land from Palestinans, while he’s trying to grab Greek Cypriots land from Cyprus, How can Turks immigranted to that land can opt to devide and have their own independant country, whyle Kurds in Turkey on their own father land, they can’t have their own independant country. How can the West expect to have peace if every move they make is full of contradictions

    In 1974 turks by sense of an opportune with political crisis grappled both Greece & Cyprus, invaded Cyprus &
    occupied Nothern Cyprus,Davutoglu comments envisages the same turkish opportunistic sence, by exploiting both countries disasterious economic collaps for turkish expansionism, warning cypriots share there belonging otherwise partition the country.
    This must be taken a very series warning lesson realize to see how an in competent government will destroy a country & nation.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
