"Eroglu: most Turkish Cypriots support two-state solution

JUST OVER 50 per cent of Turkish Cypriots support the notion of two separate states, according to the results of a poll announced by ‘Prime Minster’ Dervis Eroglu.

Eroglu presented the findings during a news conference to review his first 100 days ‘in office’.

He said in addition to the 50.1 per cent who supported a two-state solution, only around 17 per cent supported a federation with a strong central government, while 16.8 per cent supported a confederation with a weak central government and 8.4 per cent wanted the continuation of the status quo. Around six per cent supported integration with Turkey."
