Turkish Cypriot Election Results

Turkish Cypriot Election Results

In their vote on Sunday, February 20, Turkish Cypriots exercised their right to participate in free, fair and democratic elections. We welcome the result as a reaffirmation of the Turkish Cypriot commitment to a comprehensive solution and reunification of the island with Greek Cypriots.

The United States will continue to work with the United Nations' Secretary General Kofi Annan to promote a just and durable solution to the long-standing division of the island, based on the Secretary General's settlement plan.
