Il moderato turco-cipriota vince le elezioni con un importante cambiamento politico nel conflitto [ Ο νικητής είναι υπέρ της επανένωσης του νησιού και κατά της προσάρτησης στην Τουρκία ]

* **Winning candidate supports reunification talks**
* **He backs a federal solution to divided Cyprus**
* **Turkey’s Erdogan says vote shows democratic maturity**
* **Greek Cypriots have a say over Turkey’s EU aspirations**

A moderate candidate won Turkish Cypriot presidential elections on Sunday, defeating a hardliner in a [pivotal vote](https://archive.is/o/rmbyG/https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkish-cypriots-vote-leader-peace-talks-hang-balance-2025-10-19/) that could help revive stalled U.N. talks on reunifying Cyprus.

Centre-left politician Tufan Erhurman sailed to victory with 62.8% of the vote from just over 218,000 registered voters, defeating incumbent Ersin Tatar on a platform of reinvigorating talks with estranged Greek Cypriots on the future of Cyprus.

Erhurman, a lawyer, has pledged to explore a federal solution — long supported by the United Nations — to end the island’s nearly 50-year division.

Tatar and Turkey, the only country which recognises breakaway North Cyprus, had backed a two-state policy, which has been ruled out by Greek Cypriots. Tatar, who came to power in 2020, received 35.8% of the vote.
