Mustafa Akıncı
Mustafa Akıncı is a Turkish Cypriot politician who served as the President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) from April 2015 until October 2020. Known for his advocacy of a federal solution to the Cyprus problem, Akıncı's tenure was characterized by his efforts to resume negotiations with Greek Cypriots for reunification. He is a member of the Republican Turkish Party and has been a prominent figure in Turkish Cypriot politics, often emphasizing the importance of dialogue and cooperation between the two communities on the island. His approach, however, faced criticism from nationalist factions who support a two-state solution, a stance that has gained traction in recent political discourse in Northern Cyprus.
