Turkish Cypriot daily Gunes newspaper (28.09.09) reports that Dervis Eroglu, self-styled prime minister of the breakaway regime, has said that his “government” is working taking into consideration “the existence of the TRNC”. In statements during a feast organized by the “TRNC” Black Sea Association, that is, the Turkish settlers who came illegally to the occupied areas of Cyprus from Turkey’s Black Sea region, Mr Eroglu said that everybody’s duty is to defend the “TRNC”, breakaway regime in the occupied areas of Cyprus, and added: “The important thing is for the TRNC people to defend its own state. We have this understanding when we govern. Let a person come from wherever he wants, as long as he is Turk, adopts the citizenship of the TRNC and defends the TRNC state. This is our slogan, our view”. Mr Eroglu said that he supports that the settlers from Turkey should live in the occupied areas in tranquillity and security. Addressing the settlers at the feast, Mr Eroglu alleged “the occupied areas of Cyprus is their “own homeland”.
Funny, I was under the impression that he was ellected by a fair vote, thanks to your guys efforts in the talks.
You mean he spent more money than other candidates by handing out hard cash to people to vote for him.
"True Democracy" at work, "trnc" style, of course, where corruption is the norm it seems with the above method of buying votes for cash in the modern age of Democratic EU countries it wants to join.!
If you could only understand what's going on in TRNC, you may just make an intelligent contribution.
The TCs are sick of the situation and no amount of corruption could have changed the vote had TPapa not wasted 4 years of Talats Presidency with Muhtar X not being that different.
If you can't see an up yours sign from the TCs change your eye glass supplier.
Yes, That makes a lot of sense, that TCs want a solution with Talat as he promised them to get elected, but PapaD is an obstructionist so nothing happens according to you, so when Talat's old commie friend gets into power and wants a solution with Talat from day one, the TCs then stop supporting Talat because, what, that Talat fed his people with false expectations for a solution because his solution plan all along was going to be the rejected 2004 Annan plan which Talat planned to use as a starting point even up to the eve of the current talks a year ago when Christofias made it very clear that they will not use the AP at all.!
OK, so Talat gave his people false expectations rather than the reality as to what BBF will look like that will be accepted by both sided, specially after the RoC became a EU member. Perhaps for that he deserves to be kicked out, but how do you then explain why they would elect an anti settlement guy who did not even like the AP himself, so just what were the TCs expecting to happen with this guy if they no longer trusted Talat. What, somehow Eroglu would turn from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly and find a solution for them. No, of course not and that's not happened.
What happened in reality is, that the TCs sold off their voting rights to the settlers and once they have done that, it is much easier to elect someone who does not want a settlement based on EU principles in the hope that the talks will fail and all the settlers can stay in their ill gotten lands and properties and fuck the True TCs who would want to have a settlement based on the EU Principles. So basically, the TCs screwed themselves over time with the allowance of drip, drip, drip in giving out "TC citizenships", which in the end, it was the rope they gave the settlers that they "hung" the TCs with. So not everything is the blame of the other side, but also look internally. But the point was, UBP most likely did more bribing for votes than other candidates, and also the settlers element Vs the True TCs, which in the end the TCs lost and the settlers won, and in the future, the same will happen in the north’s so called parliament when the settlers will take over most of the power from the TCs which you are very proud to announce every now and then, that the TCs are in control of the government, but for how much longer, then you will see the TCs looking for a way to leave the north in droves.!
