Under the title "It changed 'form' of action", Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris (08.04.11) reports that the rally organized yesterday by the Trade Unions' Platform was turned into a demonstration against Turkey rather than a protest against the economic package. The trade unions organized a demonstration yesterday in front of the "parliament" of the regime and the "embassy" of Turkey to the occupied part of Lefkosia.
During the demonstration, they criticized the "government" of the breakaway regime, carried flags of the Republic of Cyprus and shouted slogans against the Turkish occupation of Cyprus. According to the paper, tension was created because of the slogans shouted by some "marginal groups" against Turkey. Members of Baraka Cultural Association carried a banner writing "Occupier Turkey, get out of Cyprus". The "police" of the breakaway regime seized the above-mentioned banner. According to the paper, some of the participants in the rally expressed their disagreement with the above slogan and said that this is not why they gathered at the square.
Meanwhile, some persons attempted to hoist the flag of the Republic of Cyprus on the "embassy" of Turkey to the occupied part of Lefkosia. The "police" interfered and prevented them from doing so. Very strict security measures were taken around the building of the "embassy", where demonstrators gathered. The participants in the demonstration shouted slogans such as "Ayse go home" [Tr. Note: 'Ayse' is the code name used by the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1974 for the Turkish occupation army, when he said that the second phase of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus could start], "Ankara, take your hands off us", "We will not become a police state" and "We will package those who brought the package".
The trade unions declared a strike yesterday in many working establishments with the aim of increasing the participation in the demonstration. The Republican Turkish Party (CTP), the Social Democracy Party (TDP) and the Democratic Party (DP) were not supporting the demonstration. Members of the Platform swore at the "MPs" of the above-mentioned parties. Especially Omer Kalyoncu, "MP" with the CTP, was strongly criticized. Kalyoncu was able to be saved from the anger of the demonstrators with the help of the "police". The demonstrators shouted slogans such as "We do not want a dishonourable assembly", "Marionettes get out", "This is the nest of the collaborators", "We do not want to emigrate", "The marionettes are inside, the patriots are here" and "The country is on fire, the government is sleeping". They also complained against the European Union, because it allegedly does not protect its land and citizens in the occupied part of Cyprus.
The demonstrators burned a package symbolizing the package of economic measures imposed by Turkey and a puppet representing the "government" of the regime.
During the demonstration, the "police" arrested a person, member of the Turkish Cypriot Aviation Carrier Employees (Hava-Sen). The participants in the demonstration protested to this arrest and demanded his release.
Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika (08.0411) refers to the demonstration under the title "Fighting savagely". "The rights are taken, not given', writes Afrika above its title. The paper reports about the clashes of the demonstrators with the "police" and argues that if things continue in the same manner, the situation in the occupied part of Cyprus will become the same with the one at "Tahrir Square" in Egypt. Afrika writes also that Ferdi Sabit Soyer and Mehmet Cakici, leaders of CTP and TDP respectively, were booed. It points out that this was the first time that the road in front of the Turkish "embassy" was closed with wire fence and iron gates.
Under the title "Slap to the opposition", Turkish Cypriot daily Star Kibris (08.0411) refers to the protest of the demonstrators against Soyer, Cakici and Kalyoncu. The latter stated that the trade unions will find no one's support in the future if they continue in the same way. In statements to Ada Tv, Tahsin Ertugruloglu, independent "MP", described as "dishonest and impertinent" the members of the Jasmine Movement who hoisted the flag of the Republic of Cyprus at the Turkish "embassy".
Moreover, Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen (08.0411) refers to the issue under the title "Barricades to the people" and reports that very wide security measures were taken and rows took place during yesterday's demonstration.
Under the title "Demonstration with clashes", Turkish Cypriot daily Kibrisli (08.0411) argues that "provocateurs" participated in this demonstration as it happened in the two previous rallies. The paper adds that these "provocateurs" opened the flag of the Republic of Cyprus, in an effort to give the impression that the rally was held under this flag.
Under the title "From the square to the area in front of the parliament", Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis (08.04.11) reports that after the rallies held on 29 January and 2 March, yesterday the Trade Unions' Platform organized a demonstration in front of the "parliament". According to the paper, more than one thousand persons participated in this demonstration. It says that the participation was less than expected, but "disappointing incidents happened again". Havadis writes that the person who was arrested by the "police" is Tarkan Atakan, former employee of the bankrupted "Turkish Cypriot Airlines". In a statement on behalf of the Platform, Tahir Gokcebel, chairman of KTOEOS trade union, said they organized this demonstration to make their demands known to the UBP "government". He noted that they are struggling to oppose to the annihilation of the Turkish Cypriot community and to defend the future of their children.
Under the title "The picture of the country is there", Turkish Cypriot daily Ortam (08.0411) publishes pictures from the demonstration noting that this is the agenda of the people and pictures from the handover ceremonies in three "ministries" noting that this is the agenda of the "government".
Moreover, Turkish Cypriot daily Vatan (08.0411) refers to the demonstration under the title "Impudence with banners again by marginal groups". The paper writes that Mehmet Seyis, chairman of Dev-is trade union, stated that "the actions of the marginal groups bind only themselves". According to Vatan, the trade unions were not able to gather the crowd they were expecting, in spite of the fact that they went on strike yesterday.
Turkish Cypriot daily Gunes (08.0411) refers to the demonstration under the title "The people do not approve these". According to the paper, the "speaker" of the assembly issued a statement strongly condemning the banners displayed during the demonstration and the statements against the "parliament".
Turkish Cypriot daily Demokrat Bakis (08.0411) refers to the demonstration under the title "Eventful demonstration".
Finally, Turkish Cypriot daily Haberdar (08.0411) covers the issue under the title "They started whipping".
