The political chaos up in "trnc" is heading to a climax, so much so that the Turkish Foreign Minister, the Nutty Professor Davutoglu, is expected to fly in to the Occupied Areas this weekend.

Many are saying that the massive differences between Eroglu and Kuchuk look as if they will lead to a breaking up of the "ruling" UBP party (National Unity party) and early elections.

In a paragraph this is how Afrika is reported as seeing things...

Afrika reports on the issue under the title “Now not even AKP can save Kucuk”, and notes that the conflict between the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu will end up with the shattering of UBP. The paper writes that the road of Kucuk, who represents Erdogan and of Ahmet Kasif who represents Eroglu is coming to an end the regime is heading towards early elections.

What are the differences between Erdogan and Eroglue

Is that the first line of a joke?

Unsure as to the differences but Erdogan wants someone he can rely on to push through the changes in the Regime's funding, away from CYs up there and into other areas... to date that has been Kuchuk and his mate Johny Walker.

Here's a bit more about the chaos in "trnc" in English in Hurriyet, which headlines a "crisis"...

... and this is part of how the CY PIO summarises press reports in the Occupied Areas on the matter...

.....1. Early “elections” to be held on 28 July in occupied Cyprus; Ankara’s roles in the developments is discussed
Under the title “Early elections on 28 July”, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (21.05.13) reports that the “motion of censure” submitted yesterday at the “assembly” of the breakaway regime against the National Unity Party (UBP) self-styled government will be discussed next Monday. The “motion” was signed by 26 “deputies”: 14 from the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), 3 from the Social Democracy Party (TDP), 2 from the Democratic Party (DP) and 7 from the “ruling” UBP. The paper writes that this is the first time in the regime’s history that some “deputies” of a “ruling” party signed a “motion” against their own “government”. Three UBP “deputies”, who oppose to self-styled prime minister Irsen Kucuk, did not sign the “motion”. These are Kemal Durust, Mehmet Tancer and Ejder Aslanbaba.

The “deputies”, who submitted the “motion”, suggested that early “elections” should be held on 29 September, but things changed when Irsen Kucuk made a proposal as regards holding early “elections” on 21 July. TDP and DP did not accept Kucuk’s proposal, while the CTP thought that this proposal was worthy of evaluation, as it was based on the principle of “holding ‘elections’ the soonest”. Both proposals were accepted by the “assembly” and sent to the “legal and political affairs committee”, which decided that the early “elections” should be held on 28 July, 2013. The decision was taken with the votes of the members of the “commission” that are “deputies” with UBP and CTP. The final word on the issue will be said by the “assembly” on Thursday....

erdogan is being so kind to you and you dont even appreciate it. eroglu has no intention about agreeing on anything which is why he will be replaced with somebody who wants peace. how about that but i suppose you want eroglu right just like papdobillos wanted dengtash to go to meetings.

There is even chatter, all of a sudden, of Talat getting a second shot at the presidency in 2015. Who would even have dreamed of that a few months ago?

Yes, he's been setting out his stall through a noticeable increase in statements from him to the press up there over the past few weeks.... imho.
