Turkish Cypriot political leaders make statements in the wake of the "resignation" of the three-party "government". Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar, who earlier accepted the resignation of the "government", hopes that the new "government" will take office as soon as possible.
Faiz Suzhouoglu appears ready to resume the mandate to form the new "government" from Mr. Tatar. Turkish Cypriot opposition and organizations criticize Mr. Tatar and Mr. Suzhouoglu for their role in the new political crisis.
"New 'government' as soon as possible"
According to reports in the occupied territories, after the resignation of the "government", Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar made statements. Tatar, referring to contacts he had with the outgoing "prime minister", Faiz Suzhouoglu, said that "after consulting with the lawyers, I came to the conclusion that I can accept the resignation. I asked the 'prime minister' and the ministers to continue their duties until a new government is formed. We hope that the new 'government' will take office as soon as possible."
Tatar also said, "There is an economic crisis in the country. It is important that the protocol signed with Turkey is implemented as soon as possible. I shared these views with the Prime Minister."
Suzhouoglu awaits mandate
Like Mr Tatar, Mr Suzhouoglu made statements to the T/C media following the resignation of his "government". "We will restart the process of forming a government," said Mr. Suzhouoglu, who added that he expects to receive again the mandate to form a new "government" from Mr. Tatar. Mr. Sutzuoglu said that Mr. Tatar could authorize the T/C official opposition to form the new "government". "And this is an alternative. However, in case there is no result (Tatar) will hand over the mandate to us again," Suzhouoglu said.
Suzhouoglu also said that he pointed out to Mr. Tatar the economic crisis facing the TCs and that there is a need for the immediate formation of the new "government". According to him, Mr. Tatar is expected to hand over the new mandate to form a "government" within the next "one or two days."
Finally, he said that "some things will change in the new government" and that the new "economic protocol" signed with "Turkey" will be implemented normally by the new "government".
The "fire" of the opposition and organizations
On the resignation of the "government", the leader of the T/C official opposition was also positioned. According to a written statement from the Republican Turkish Party (RTL), Toufan Erhurman said that "what is happening is a farce."
Erhurman criticized Mr. Tatar for his role in the new political crisis, stating the following: "I am the 'prime minister' and I will tell you that I don't want to work with such and such a person. And the President will reply that 'I reject your request, I have to think about it, I have to consult'. These things don't happen."
Note that the T/C "platform of economic organizations" also reacted to the "resignation" of the "government" by criticizing the T/C political leadership on the grounds that "while everyone is trying to keep their business alive and prevent the collapse of employment and the tax system, the careless behavior of our political leaders is extremely challenging and hurtful."
