Today's Turkish Cypriot press is focused on the new crisis that has erupted within the bosom of the tripartite "government" and the T/C leadership-government axis. At the same time, according to the Press and Information Office (PIO), the T/C press is broadcasting the views of the representatives of the T/C opposition on the new political developments in the occupied territories.
Under the headline "Either reshuffle or resign", Yeni Dusen) writes that "Prime Minister" Faiz Suzhouoglu yesterday submitted to Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar the conditional resignation of his "government". Suzhouoglu asked Tatar to approve the resignation of "finance minister" Sunat Atun, noting that if this is not accepted he must accept his own resignation.
In the shadow of the resignation of the "government", the central leadership of the National Unity Party (NUP) held an extraordinary meeting last night. According to the T/C publication, Mr. Suzhouoglu requested a meeting at the so-called Turkish embassy in occupied Nicosia, but his request was rejected.
On the same issue, "Kipris" points out that while all sectors of the economy are in uncertainty and chaos waiting for a solution to their problems, the "government", which is only about two months old, has failed to achieve stability and has asked for a second "reshuffle."

And, "Afrika" writes that it is believed that the reason why Mr Tatar did not immediately respond to Mr Suzhouoglu's request is the fact that he is in consultations with Ankara from which he has not yet received a response.
Under the headline "Full support for the prime minister from the expanded central council", the "ruling" CCP's mouthpiece, "Gounes", writes that in statements after yesterday's meeting, the party's secretary general, Oguzhan Hashipoglu, said that an emergency situation had been created, that there was a "government crisis" and that their road map would be determined after Mr. Tatar.
The T/C opposition's criticism of the "prime minister"
According to Diyalog, Republican Turkish Party (RTL) chairman Toufan Erhurman, commenting on the crisis in a post on his personal social media account, criticized the "prime minister", writing the following: "You cannot appoint as minister the person you want. And if you appoint him, you are forced to sack him after 15 days. You cannot remove the minister you wanted. You handed Mr Tatar the letter of resignation. But you are the prime minister!"
According to Halkin Sesi, the mayor of occupied Nicosia, Mehmet Harmanji, addressing Mr. Soutzouoglu, called on him to make "clear statements about whether he is under pressure to reshuffle the cabinet."
