Akinci referred to the 2020 "presidential elections" and Turkey in his first TV appearance in a long time "Turkish Cypriots have no other place from which they can get help except Turkey."
"You are facing the Turkish Republic now," Turkey's "ambassador" in the occupied territories reportedly said, when he called the "deputies" who formed the internal opposition in Ersin Tatar's JCC to convince them to "align" with (Turkey's) decision to support Tatar in the 2020 "presidential elections", according to Mustafa Akinci.
The former T/C leader gave a TV interview on Monday night after a long time and Avrupa newspaper reported on it today. In that meeting at the "embassy, Akinci said, in addition to the "ambassador", the commander of the occupation army and members of the MIT were present.
Asked why he did not support the KDP in the recent "parliamentary elections", Mustafa Akinci said he had a meeting with the leadership six months before the "elections" and advised them to run under the presidency of Mehmet Harmanji, but this was not taken into account and the then leadership had told him that they had no problem overcoming the "electoral measure".
Asked to comment on the statement he had made in the past that Turkey is the only port to which Turkish Cypriots can take refuge, Akinci said he has the same view now and that Turkish Cypriots have no other place from which they can get help except Turkey.
