But in 1974 a Greek nationalist clique took over and threatened the Turkish Cypriot minority, leading to Turkey sending in troops. Fresh talks over the future of Cyprus commence in Geneva on Tuesday, 27 April, with the Turkish Cypriot side saying they now felt a “two-state” solution was the only answer to the island’s political stalemate. Ersin Tatar, who was elected president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in October, said he hoped the idea would bring a  new vision to the talks, even though it has already been dismissed
