土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安周五表示，任何未能保护土族塞人权利和利益的进程，都无法为塞浦路斯问题的持久解决铺平道路。
No process that fails to protect the rights and interests of Turkish Cypriots can pave the way for a lasting solution on Cyprus, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday.
埃尔多安是在土耳其首都安卡拉与北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国总统图凡·埃尔胡尔曼会面时发表上述言论的。
Erdogan made the remarks during a meeting in the Turkish capital Ankara with Tufan Erhurman, president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
两位领导人讨论了土耳其与北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国之间的关系以及地区问题。埃尔多安重申了土耳其对北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国的坚定支持。
The two leaders discussed relations between Türkiye and the TRNC as well as regional issues. Erdogan reiterated Türkiye's steadfast support for the TRNC.
他还赞扬了北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国在突厥国家组织（OTS）中的代表权。该组织本周正在安卡拉举行会议。
He also praised TRNC's representation in the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), which has been holding meetings this week in Ankara.
