Turkey and Turkish Cypriots have a new idea for Cyprus. They want to work together. This is not like their old plan. The new idea is "cooperation without a solution." This means doing practical work together.
Turkey's minister, Hakan Fidan, talked about the change. He said North Cyprus should be an equal partner. Turkish Cypriots want to share decisions. This includes sharing gas from the East Mediterranean. They want to work on gas now.
They are thinking about a "Cooperation Mechanism." This will help groups work together. They will focus on gas and other things. This is like two separate states working together. Turkey also wants an energy meeting. This will help North Cyprus get more support.
The minister said to stop talking about politics now. He wants to focus on business. This includes energy and tourism. He thinks a two-state idea can help cooperation. Turkey always liked this idea. They say Greek Cypriots did not accept old plans.
This new plan is important. It is different from a united island. It could make the island more divided. This plan might also slow UN talks. Turkey and Turkish Cypriots want to show rights. They also want more influence in the area. They want to help Turkish Cypriots. They want business growth. This is a challenge for Cyprus and its friends.
