Türkiye-TRNC Relations
24 JULY 2023

Following a Greek-orchestrated coup on the island of Cyprus in 1974, Türkiye intervened to protect the massacred Turkish Cypriots living there. Every July 20th, Turkish Cypriots celebrate the day, and this year they marked it with Turkiye's President Erdogan inaugurating Ercan Airport, the new international airport terminal of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The new terminal is a great step towards more international recognition for TRNC, already boasting observer status at the Organisation of Turkic States. Erdogan after his election win, reiterated that recognition would be the only way to return to long-stalled negotiations with the Greek Cypriot Administration.

Türkiye-USA Relations
17 JULY 2023

The NATO summit in Lithuania proved to be a great venue to discuss the outstanding issues between Türkiye and the US, culminating in a resolution that now has Türkiye backing Sweden's bid to become a member of the alliance. President Erdogan met his US counterpart President Biden on the sidelines of the summit, and upon Türkiye's approval of Sweden's accession, the US officials announced that work on transferring F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye is ready to move ahead. Slow progress in acquiring the fighters has been a major hurdle between the allies. The two leaders also touched on other regional issues during their meeting, including continued support for Ukraine.

Türkiye-Greece Relations
10 JULY 2023

In a congratulatory phone call to Greece's newly re-elected prime minister, President Erdogan said he hopes a new era in relations will benefit both countries. The two long-time NATO allies have been infamously uneasy neighbors, having clashed over a number of issues over the past two years. The issues range from Greece protesting the US sale of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye, and Türkiye objecting Greece's illegal pushbacks of immigrants in the Aegean, all amidst tensions over new gas fields, airspace violations, and the EastMed pipeline debacle.
