The Turkish Cypriot leader in split Cyprus’ breakaway north says his hardline party’s victory in weekend parliamentary elections is an endorsement for his controversial stance on resolving the island’s ethnic division that’s in line with Turkey’s policy. Ersin Tatar said Wednesday some 60% of Sunday’s vote went to parties aligned with his vision of “equal sovereignty” with the Greek Cypriots, who control the east Mediterranean island state’s internationally recognized government. He added that the international community should respect Turkish-Cypriot voters’ will. Tatar, backed by the Turkish government, wants a two-state settlement instead of the internationally backed federation-based deal to end the island’s 48-year division. The Greek Cypriots reject his approach.
