He will give the mandate to form a "government" to a "deputy" of the CEC, says Tatar, criticised by Erheurman
He will give the mandate to form a "government" to a "deputy" of the CEC who can form a "government" that can get a vote of confidence in the "parliament", Ersin Tatar said.
In a statement to the T/C "news agency" after the conclusion of today's contacts with the "parliamentary" leaders as well, the T/C leader said that this person should be determined by the party's collective bodies. He also said it was not possible to give the mandate to PKK President Toufan Erhiurman, who said that if he did not form a "government" Mr Tatar would call early "parliamentary elections" based on the powers given to him by the "constitution". This position of Mr. Erhiurman, he said, does not help achieve stability."
"The math is there. At a time when the country needs stability, mentioning early elections as a precondition turns politics into a mechanism for chaos and not for finding a solution. With this condition, I will not be able to give him the mandate," he said."
Asked to comment on the rumour that he would give the mandate to a "deputy" of the CEC, Ersin Tatar said it should be a "deputy" nominated by the party's collective bodies, otherwise the whole issue would become a cause of controversy. And this, he said, should be done immediately, i.e. the collective bodies of the CEC should determine this person.
No one should have any doubt that I will make the assignment to form a "government" as soon as possible by thoroughly assessing the exchange of views with the political parties, he added, noting that some people should put aside their personal gains and see the benefit of the "country". The priority, he continued, should be to produce solutions to structural problems, address the global crisis that has also affected the pseudo-state and focus on serving the citizen.
Ersin Tatar also made it clear that he does not see any early "parliamentary elections" as an alternative he can even consider. He said that the "constitution" allows him to give the mandate to an "MP" who can form a "government" with a vote of confidence.
Commenting on Tatar's reference to him, PKK chairman Toufan Erhiurman wrote in a post that the TC leader believes his own premise of early "elections" will lead the "country" to chaos, but he did not hesitate, instead of removing Sunnat Atoun from office, as "Prime Minister" Sutzuoglu had asked him to do, to cause the "government" to resign, 59 days after its creation. This, he added, led to chaos and instability.
He reiterated in another post that the PTK will not take part in a government under Faiz Suzhouoglu, during whose tenure the opposition has not seen the protocols signed with Turkey and the large price increases in electricity and alcohol. Nor does he find it right to give the mandate to form a "government" to Faiz Suzhouoglu for the third time.
He also mentioned that he does not accept the attitude (of Ersin Tatar) that he will give the opposition the mandate, but if he cannot form a "government", then he will give it to a "deputy" of the CEC. "The PTK says this by stressing that while it does not consider its own mind superior to anyone else's, it will not accept that anyone else considers its own mind superior to that of the PTK."
He added, among other things, that the PTK can only be part of a "government" of technocrats and non-technocrats who will lead the "country" to "elections" and not part of a new chaos.
