Turkey's Erdogan insists on Cyprus two-state solution
Turkey's Erdogan insists on Cyprus two-state solution (Pic: AP) NORTH NICOSIA: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday reaffirmed his country's support for a two-state solution in Cyprus, urging the international community to accept the Mediterranean island's existing division. Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when a Turkish invasion followed a coup in Nicosia backed by Greece's then-military junta. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, declared in 1983, is recognised only by Ankara. "We fully support the vision based on a two-state solution," Erdogan said during a visit to northern Cyprus marking 51 years since Turkish troops invaded the island. "It is time for the international community to make peace with the realities on the ground," Erdogan said. The Turkish leader's visit comes few days after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that meetings between Cyprus's rival leaders at the organisation's New York headquarters were "constructive," even as questions remained about crossing points on the island. Erdogan on Sunday called for an end to the isolation of the TRNC. "Diplomatic, political, and economic relations should be established with the TRNC, and the injustice endured by Turkish Cypriots for decades must finally come to an end," he said. The last major round of peace talks collapsed in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, in July 2017.

Russia open to peace with Ukraine but insists on achieving goals, Kremlin says
Moscow, Jul 20 (AP) Russia is open to peace with Ukraine but achieving its goals remains a priority, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Sunday, days after US President Donald Trump gave Moscow a 50-day deadline to agree to a ceasefire or face tougher sanctions. Peskov and other Russian officials have repeatedly rejected accusations from Kyiv and its Western partners of stalling peace talks. Meanwhile, Moscow continues to intensify its long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities, launching more drones in a single night than it did during some entire months in 2024, and analysts say the barrages are likely to escalate. 'President (Vladimir) Putin has repeatedly spoken of his desire to bring the Ukrainian settlement to a peaceful conclusion as soon as possible. This is a long process, it requires effort, and it is not easy," Peskov told state TV reporter Pavel Zarubin. 'The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear," he added. The Kremlin has insisted that any peace deal should see Ukraine withdraw from the four regions that Russia illegally annexed in September 2022, but never fully captured. It also wants Ukraine to renounce its bid to join NATO and accept strict limits on its armed forces — demands Kyiv and its Western allies have rejected. In his nightly address Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his officials have proposed a new round of peace talks this week. Russian state media on Sunday reported that no date has yet been set for the negotiations, but said Istanbul would likely remain the host city. Trump threatened Russia on July 14 with steep tariffs and announced a rejuvenated pipeline for American weapons to reach Ukraine, hardening his stance toward Moscow after months of frustration following unsuccessful negotiations aimed at ending the war. The direct Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Istanbul resulted in several rounds of prisoner exchanges but little else. Trump said he would implement 'severe tariffs" unless a peace deal is reached within 50 days. He provided few details on how they would be implemented, but suggested they would target Russia's trading partners in an effort to isolate Moscow in the global economy. In addition, Trump said European allies would buy 'billions and billions" of dollars of US military equipment to be transferred to Ukraine, replenishing the besieged country's supplies of weapons. Included in the plan are Patriot air defence systems, a top priority for Ukraine as it fends off Russian drones and missiles. Doubts were recently raised about Trump's commitment to supply Ukraine when the Pentagon paused shipments over concerns that US stockpiles were running low. Elsewhere, Ukraine's air force said it shot down 18 of 57 Shahed-type and decoy drones launched by Russia overnight into Sunday, with 7 more disappearing from radar. Two women were injured in Zaporizhzhia, a southern Ukrainian region partly occupied by Russia, when a drone struck their house, according to the regional military administration. Two more civilians were injured in Izium, northeastern Ukraine, after a drone slammed into a residential building, local Ukrainian officials said.

Pope Leo calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza after church strike kills 3
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urged the international community to follow humanitarian law after an Israeli strike hit Gaza's only Catholic church. Speaking after his Angelus prayer from his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, the Pope said he was deeply saddened by the incident, which killed three people and wounded several others, including the parish priest. 'I once again call for an immediate end to the barbarity of this war and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict,' Pope Leo said, according to the Associated Press (AP). Sadly, this act adds to the continuous military attacks against the civilian population and places of worship in Gaza. I again call for an immediate halt to the barbarism of the war and for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. I renew my appeal to the international community to… — Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) July 20, 2025 The strike on the Holy Family Church in Gaza City took place on Thursday. Reuters reported that photos from the scene showed damage to the roof near the main cross, with blackened stone walls and shattered windows. The compound had been sheltering hundreds of people fleeing the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, now in its 21st month. 'I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, the indiscriminate use of force, and forced displacement,' the pontiff said. Israel has said the incident was not intentional and that it is under investigation. Earlier in the day, the Pope presided over Mass at the nearby Cathedral of Albano. Afterward, he told reporters, 'We need to dialogue and abandon weapons.' He added, 'The world no longer tolerates war.'
