The leaders of the Turkish Cypriot opposition parties call for a change of course in relations between the Turkish Cypriot community and Turkey. They also raise the issue of the transition of the occupied territories to a "stable currency". The leader of the Turkish Cypriot opposition insists on the importance of new confidence-building measures.
According to the Press and Information Office (PIO), Diyalom writes that the leader of the Republican Turkish Party (RTL), Tufan Erhiurman, advocated the transition of the occupied territories to "a stable currency".
Erhiurman, in statements after he and a delegation of his party met with the "Turkish Cypriot livestock farmers' association", said his party had proposed the transition to a stable currency and stressed that this was the only way they could protect the Turkish Cypriot "people" and producers.
Erhurman also said that his party supports the new Confidence Building Measures, which could lead to the opening of the "Tympos airport and Famagusta port", a development he said would be beneficial for Turkish Cypriots.
For his part, according to the GMP, the Kipris newspaper writes that the chairman of the People's Party (PL), Kudret Ozersay, said that "Tdvk relations with Turkey should be put on a solid basis as soon as possible. This cannot be done unilaterally."
