Erhurman's Negotiating Team for the Cyprus Issue Revealed

The negotiating team of Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman for the Cyprus issue has been announced. The team includes Ali Tunçaj, co-chair of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, academic İpek Borman, Erhurman's representative Mehmet Dana, 'diplomat' Çize Zekai Faruk and Senniha Birand Çıran, who was the coordinator of the Technical Committees during the period of Ersin Tatar's leadership. Tufan Erhurman posted a photo of the team on his personal social media account, stating that it was a preparatory meeting. Until today, Erhurman had only announced Mehmet Dana as a member of his negotiating team. The composition of the team shows that Erhurman seeks to include people with different backgrounds and experience in the negotiations. The presence of Senniha Birand Çıran, who had served as the coordinator of the Technical Committees, indicates the importance that Erhurman attaches to continuing the work that has been done in the past. The announcement of the negotiating team is an important step in preparing for the negotiations on the Cyprus issue, which are expected to begin in the near future. The team will be responsible for shaping Erhurman's position and negotiating with the Greek side to achieve a fair and sustainable solution.
