Türkiye Today (21 April 2025)

Following the European Union’s (EU) move to push Turkic nations into opening diplomatic missions in the territory of the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus (GCASC) under the guise of economic cooperation, the first in-person contact of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) will take place in Nicosia, Turkish Cyprus.

The 17th meeting of the OTS Council of Elders will be held in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on May 1–2. The most pressing topic on the agenda is the opening of embassies by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan in GCASC.

There are strong allegations that the support for the relevant sections in the communiqué that pushed for the opening of embassies in Nicosia was because of the European Union’s (EU) economic pressure and that the EU threatened to cut off aid and investments to these countries.
