The T/C press is even talking about a political coup today regarding the assignment of the mandate to form a "government" to Ersin Tatar, a "deputy" of the CEC last night
According to the reports, the Turkish Cypriot leader moved surprisingly quickly to give the assignment to this "MP" and current "labour minister" in the outgoing second "government" under the "prime minister", Faiz Suzhouoglu. And this was done without waiting for the convening of the party parliament, the highest party organ of the CEC. Yesterday there was a meeting of the "parliamentary group" of the CEC where the issue of the name or names to receive the mandate to form a "government" was discussed, but without result and therefore the issue would be discussed in more detail in tomorrow's meeting of the party parliament.
Yeni Douzen writes that not during the plenary session of the "parliament" Unal Ustel wanted to leave the building. But when he saw that there were journalists at the main entrance he went out the back door. The newspaper published a photo of this "deputy" leaving waving from the back door of the "parliament" and wrote that when asked where he was going he replied that "there is nothing".
Also, CEC "deputy" Hassan Tatsoi, whose name was written among those expected to get the mandate to form a "government", after the assignment to Ustel reacted harshly - the T/C press writes - saying that contrary to this morning's internal party decisions, the mandate was given to a man who "profited from the disaster", referring to the case of the illegal arrival of a Turkish jet at the time of the pandemic in the occupied territories. He believes that Faiz Suzhouoglu is behind all this.
He, he continued, learned from the MEK that the order was given to Unal Ustel. What is happening, he said, is extremely sad for the CEC, which was the first party in votes, those who have dedicated their lives to the CEC, such as himself, and for the whole society.
Avrupa writes about black pages in the history of the country and how Ersin Tatar did what Ankara wanted by giving the mandate to form a "government" to Unal Ustel, who had received the fewest votes in the electoral congress of the CEC, where Faiz Suzhouoglu was elected president
Faiz Suzhouoglu said last night that he was surprised that the name was cleared yesterday. It was not a surprise the name, he said, because there was talk that it would be either Unal Ustel or Hassan Tatsoi, but that it was cleared yesterday afternoon was a surprise. He noted that tomorrow, Wednesday, the "parliamentary group" had decided that the issue would be discussed in the JCC party parliament tomorrow and a decision would be taken on which person would be given the mandate to form a "government."
It was not a surprise, for his part, said Unal Ustel who was given the mandate, who said he would wait to get the mandate from the JCC collective bodies and move quickly to form a "government."
It was not a surprise, for his part, said Unal Ustel who was given the mandate, who said he would wait to get the mandate from the JCC collective bodies and move quickly to form a "government. Asked to comment on Hassan Tatsoi's reaction, he avoided it, saying "Hassan is my friend, he is my brother."
However, the President of the PP, Firki Ataoglu, also called it a surprise that the mandate was given to Unal Ustel so soon and in this way, but said he was ready to discuss with him "if he knocks on our door".
Ready to work with Unal Ustel "if he satisfies us" and pick up where they left off with the "governance" of Faiz Suzhouoglu, said CA President Erhan Arikli.
The president of the opposition PTK, Toufan Erhiurman, does not believe that the resulting formation will be legitimate due to the fact that it will be led by an "MP" and not a party leader. He noted that the assignment was made by Mr Tatar without a decision by the party organs of the CPC and wondered if anything else needed to be said.
Where intrigue and personal interests are great, nothing grows, said the chairman of the CP, Kudret Ozersai, estimating that more precious time for the "country" would be lost.
It should be noted that in statements to the director of the online newspaper Havadis, Basyaran Duzgun, Faiz Suzhouoglu yesterday did not clarify whether or not he would resign if the mandate to form a "government" is given to a "deputy". I have not decided yet, he had said, noting that he did not consider personal interest and benefit to be paramount. Today's Havadis has a headline "The CEC erased the faiz", making a pun on Mr. Suzhouoglu's name, which also means interest rate.
According to Dialog, this will be the 40th "government" since the illegal declaration of the pseudo-state and the third since the last "parliamentary elections" were held early on January 23 last year.
