520			_aABSTRACT Cyprus has been divided since 1974, and despite numerous efforts to reunite it, no solution has yet been reached, and the rift is increasing. In light of failed negotiations and the transformation of Turkish foreign policy, this study aims to analyse Türkiye’s position in Cyprus under the rule of the Justice and Development Party, precisely its reversal toward supporting a two-state solution in 2021. In 2002, after to coming to power, the AKP supported a bizonal, bicommunal federal solution per the Annan plan, albeit rejected. Nonetheless, following the collapse of Crans-Montana talks in 2017, Ankara proposed a two-state solution, officially asserted in 2021. Accordingly, this study aims to answer the following question: why did Türkiye abandon its support for a federal solution to the Cyprus issue? The Justice and Development Party shifted its position in Cyprus due to a broader shift in Turkish foreign policy due to emerging anti-Westernism and a pro-nationalist orientation – demonstrated by the AKP-MHP coalition – following the 2016 coup attempt. Finally, the 2021 policy shift was influenced by a geopolitical dimension brought about by the balance of power rivalry in the eastern Mediterranean region, affecting Türkiye’s perceptions of Cyprus and the region.
