Rival candidate and ex-member of Eroğlu’s UBP party has commented that the last possible person to be president has been elected, and said that:
Müzakerelerin ne olduğunu bilmeyen biri müzakere masasında Kıbrıs Türk Halkı’nı temsil edecektir.
Somebody who does not know what negotiations are will represent the Turkish Cypriot People at the negotiating table.
