T/C leader, Tufan Erhurman, has proposed four new crossing points between the two communities, from Mia Milia to Pyrgos and Louroujina. Erhurman stated that the discussion focuses on the reuse of “common powers” based on political equality, in areas such as hydrocarbons, energy, maritime zones, trade routes, security, and EU citizenship. He will not name the form of the solution before the procedures and methodology are finalized, emphasizing that the substance should not be discussed before the preparations are complete. He believes that the will to resolve must also be demonstrated by actions outside of negotiations, mentioning the importance of confidence-building measures. Furthermore, he stressed that the Turkish dimension is unavoidable and that no talks have ever been held “against Turkey.”
