veteran nationalist leader who favours independence for the north. </b><p>Mr Eroglu, the prime minister, won just over 50%, enabling him to avoid a run-off with incumbent, Mehmet Ali Talat, unofficial final results show. </p><p>The election may have a major impact on the chances of reuniting the divided Mediterranean island. </p><p>Mr Talat had supported reunification and close ties with the European Union. </p><p>Results on the Turkish Cypriot High Electoral Board's website gave Mr Eroglu 50.38% of the vote to Mr Talat's 42.85%. The results still need to be confirmed by the electoral commission.<br/></p>  <table cellspacing="0" align="right" width="231" border="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="5"><img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif" width="5" height="1" alt="" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"></td> <td class="sibtbg"> <div class="sih"> ANALYSIS </div> <div class="o"> <img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47667000/jpg/_47667611_000617695-1.jpg" align="right" width="66" height="66" alt="Tabitha Morgan" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"> </div> <div class="mva"><b>Tabitha Morgan, BBC News, Nicosia</b></div> <div class="mva"><p>Mr Eroglu is strongly opposed to the diplomatic process in which Mr Talat was engaged seeking to reunify the island. </p><p>The Eroglu solution to the long-standing Cyprus problem would involve separate Greek and Turkish Cypriot states, linked by loose confederal ties. </p><p>This is totally unacceptable to the majority of Greek Cypriots. So the prospects for a negotiated deal suddenly look significantly worse.</p><p>Indeed, Mr Eroglu's victory is symptomatic of a mood of disillusionment among most Turkish Cypriots, over Mr Talat's failure to make good his promise to reunite Cyprus and end the north's political and economic isolation. </p><p>If no solution to the problem is forthcoming, Turkey's path towards EU accession will become even more difficult.</p></div> </td> </tr> </table>  <p>Mr Eroglu claimed victory, saying: "We will always work in co-operation with our motherland Turkey." </p><p>However, he told Turkey's NTV television that "no-one must think that I will walk away from the negotiating table. The talks process will continue". </p><p>"I will work with goodwill for a solution that takes my community's rights into account," he added. </p><p>Mr Talat told reporters: "My dream to reach a solution is still there, but of course this is the beginning of a new era." </p><p>Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded in response to a military coup backed by the junta ruling Greece at the time. The breakaway north is not recognised internationally. </p><p>Analysts say the result could stall peace talks with the Greek Cypriots and have implications for Turkey's hopes of joining the European Union. </p><p></p>  <table cellspacing="0" align="right" width="231" border="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="5"><img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif" width="5" height="1" alt=""
