The political behaviour of Ersin Tatar, who has already handed over the keys of the occupied territories to Turkey, is reminiscent of dictatorial regimes. Without taking into account the stormy reaction of the opposition and the popular anger. The Turkish Cypriot leader has turned himself into the "mukhtar" of Turkey's 82nd Province and dutifully follows the orders he receives from the Sultanate.
Such as the absurd appointment of Ustel as the pseudo-prime minister, the conversion of the illegal Tymnos airport into Turkey's internal airport and of course the dangerous Economic Protocol of cooperation between the pseudo-state and Ankara. Three completely different issues with a common denominator. They clearly demonstrate the strengthening of the suffocating dependence of the occupied territories on the "motherland", as Ersin Tatar describes it every day.
All this has given birth to an unprecedented political crisis in the occupied territories, which goes beyond verbal confrontation. In the last ten days we have seen resignations of leading party officials from the pseudo-Council, homeric brawls, verbal abuse, personal attacks and threats, complaints to the pseudo-police.
This is something Tatar had foreseen, if we take into account the fact that a few weeks ago he prepared a "bill" according to which it would be a criminal offence to badmouth one's boss. It is clear that the Turkish Cypriot leader feels... Erdogan in the pseudo-presidential location.
Of all this, only the location is temporary, since work will soon begin on building the new "presidential" in the occupied territories. A gift from the Turkish President will be a miniature of the presidential palace in Ankara. That's some cynicism.
Political figures like Erhiurman and Ozersai have opened their eyes and complained about Turkish interference, trying to prevent evil. They are calling on Tatar to accept Anastasiades' proposals for an effective MoU to at least end the absolute economic dependence of the occupied territories on Turkey. They have changed their attitude, becoming more Cypriot than Turkish. But now it is too late. The annexation of the occupied territories is now visible to the naked eye, and those who are shouting now have put their own stake in this effort.
