But this time, the dynamics have fundamentally shifted, with the Turkish side now pushing for a two-state solution instead of the decades-long goal of reunification. The United Nations has been trying, unsuccessfully, to reunite the ethnically divided island of Cyprus since 1974, when Turkish forces invaded the northern part following a coup by Greek army officers who sought to unite Cyprus with Greece.
