After the resignation of the three-party "government", the processes for the formation of a new "government" begin in the occupied territories. The Turkish Cypriot leader will meet with the leaders of the parties represented in the "parliament". He will then give a political leader the mandate to form the new "government".
New reports referring to the attempt to form a new "government" point out that the whole process may take several days.
Last night, following the resignation of the "government" of Faiz Suzhouoglu, the three parties involved in the "government" formation held extraordinary meetings and statements on the course of political developments in the occupied territories. The National Unity Party (NUP), the largest party of the Turkish right, discussed the developments at the meeting of its central body. The Renaissance Party (BC), which is mainly supported by settlers, did the same.
A few hours ago, the leader of the Democratic Party (DP), Fikri Ataoglu, referred to the possibility of forming an expanded government with the participation of all parties that would be able to deal more effectively with the major economic crisis.
The idea of a "national unity government" has also been put on the table by the leader of the People's Party (PL), Kudret Ozersay.
On the possibility of forming an ecumenical government, the outgoing "prime minister", Faiz Suzhouoglu, said that "although I do not know whether it will become a reality or not, however we will not prevent it."
Suzhouoglu implicitly criticized Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar for his role in the new crisis. "In case the president managed to dismiss (Sunat) Atun today, we would immediately appoint a colleague and focus on the planned (price) cuts," he said.
In response to the above statement, the leader of the Turkish Cypriot opposition, Toufan Erhiurman, wondered why Mr. Tatar failed to dismiss the former "finance minister".
