Yep, we are going to go one better than the junta and instead of a coup we will elect General Demirdasak as our President. He is a man of steel and does not like to get heated up. :wink:

Tim
First of all the election is for electing MP's not for the presidency,so Talat's position is not in question here.
Although his days are also counted he has few more years till the next presidential elections..

besides,what "principles" are you on about?
If he had any principles he would have resigned as soon as Turkey put pressure on him after he got elected.


I posted some of his old quotes in another thread to show just how much he has changed. These are the principles I am on about - Cypriotness and reconciliation rather than subservience to Turkey and partition. Do you think he was just posturing in those days?

He can if he wants to Tim but I doubt that even Talat is that stupid to go down in history as the one who surrendered to a communist regime.

The thing that you have to realsie is that it's not just in Turkey's interest to want a two state solution, it's in our TCs interests as well. So anyone who even thinks about surrendering and dissolving the TRNC will be ousted by us even before Turkey gets the chance to ditch him/her.


Well, I am a Briton living in the south of Cyprus, and you are a Turk living in my country. Maybe it is best to let the TCs living in Cyprus decide for themselves what is in their best interests.

Last night , we all the TC's watched primer minister Talks about his election decision from our Televisions . He has given his reasons

He pointed out , in June or end of the this year there will be referendum or last shape of the talks will come out . they decided to make early election to support Federal solution in Cyprus .

he also said there is a different ideas between parties .
some parties wants to return back to 1960 constitution .some parties wants confedration (he didn't say which parties) . etc.... etc .....


@ Tim ,
what i see is :Talat and CTP are still same , what they were during the Annan plan time .they are still in same position . They came to power what they promised during the referandum and annan plan time . we did not elect them what they were saying before the AP time .

as I said before next election result will get effected again by yhe Cyprus talks and results of the negatiotions not what CTP or UBP or EU or Turkey or what the others are saying .

Just curious. Do expatriate Cypriots get to vote in referendums on settlement plans, like the one on the Annan Plan?

Tim ,
we have lots of Turkish Cypriots lives in UK ,Australia and Turkey as well .
According to our laws they can get TRNC citizen ship too .If they lives more than 6months in TRNC they can vote .

one way or anotherways all the TC's has got connections with Cyprus . Even if they live at abroad . They have rights to say any thing they want . Only they can not vote .
But some arguments goes on , they should vote as well . They have to change the present law .... not this time but it looks in future it will change .

Elections! What a scam! : :roll: :roll:


Most of the "settlers" you refer to are voteless workers (and many of those Kurds). Turkish Cypriots are still the majority of the voting citizens and it is they who have their say. In fact, the Turkish residents who have been given citizenship have normally voted against the nationalistic parties.

It is true samarkeolog ......

to find out is very easy, soon voter list will hung on the walls .... on those list it is very easy to find out who are going to vote .with names and id.numbers.

also from the Cities or villages elections results it can be traced very easily .after every elections results are publishing from daily news papers . which party or which persons has got how many votes from every places .

some how some people are believes what they have been told by other parties .usually these information's are given out some small groups .they tries to cover their unsuccess in elections .
