Fidan urges support

At the 15th Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Summit, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan emphasized the need for decisive support for Palestine, which resonates deeply with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Just as Palestine seeks recognition and aid, the TRNC similarly strives for acknowledgment and an end to the international isolation imposed by the Greek Cypriot administration. This parallel underscores the TRNC's ongoing diplomatic efforts to gain support from Islamic countries, leveraging platforms like the OIC to advance their political objectives.



The TRNC, being an observer member of the OIC, sees such summits as crucial opportunities to highlight its geopolitical situation. President Ersin Tatar's participation and activities at the summit demonstrate the TRNC's proactive approach in engaging with the international community, aiming to reshape its narrative and garner broader support. The TRNC's advocacy for sovereign equality and recognition at international forums mirrors the aspirations of many marginalized states, making Fidan's call for action for Palestine a poignant reminder of their own struggles.



Fidan's plea for OIC members to unite in support of Palestinian rights also serves as a strategic template for the TRNC in its diplomatic endeavors. By aligning itself with countries that support self-determination and international justice, the TRNC aims to strengthen its case for international recognition and support. This alignment with global movements for national sovereignty and rights can potentially amplify the TRNC’s voice on the international stage.



Furthermore, the TRNC hopes that support from OIC countries can translate into more concrete actions against the isolation it faces. As Fidan advocates for collaborative efforts and solidarity for Palestine, the TRNC seeks similar solidarity from OIC members, urging them to recognize its political and humanitarian issues. Such solidarity is crucial as it not only provides moral support but also potentially leads to practical support in international forums.



Overall, the OIC Summit serves as a reflection of the broader geopolitical dynamics and the interplay of international relations that affect marginalized states like the TRNC. The TRNC’s engagement in this summit, paralleled by Fidan’s calls for action, highlights the ongoing efforts and challenges faced by states seeking recognition and justice on the global stage. The summit becomes not just a platform for discussing regional issues but also a stage for advancing discussions about sovereignty, recognition, and international solidarity among nations sharing similar struggles.
