Turkey insists on two states for ethnically divided Cyprus as the UN looks to restart peace talks

Turkey insists on a two-state peace accord for ethnically divided Cyprus as the United Nations prepares to meet with all sides in early spring to restart talks.
The ethnic division in Cyprus began in 1974 after Turkey invaded following a coup aiming to unite the island with Greece.
Greek Cypriot officials argue the 2017 talks collapsed due to Turkey's demand to keep troops on the island and military intervention rights.
Greek Cypriots oppose a two-state deal, viewing it as a formalization of partition and a threat from Turkey's military presence.
