The occupied territories are moving towards a "presidential system" based on Ankara's recommendations, according to the head of the New Cyprus Party Murat Kanatli.
As reported by the Press and Information Office (PIO), Yeni Bakis writes that the secretary general of the New Cyprus Party (YKP), Murat Kanatli warned that Ankara is leading the TCs to a "constitutional change."
"We approach the (new "presidential") building complex as a huge presidential palace and a parliament smaller than it. If we are not going to change the 'constitution' then why are we building a bigger presidential palace?"
Saying that the occupied territories are slowly moving towards a "presidential system", Kanatli said that "protocols" have been signed with Turkey for many years and that the most famous of them is the one signed in 1998. He argued that in that year it became clear that there was a change of course and that the "protocols" imposed on them in the following years took away the few powers that the TCs had.
Referring to the "protocol" recently signed, Mr. Kanatli noted: "There are a thousand and not one pits in the fava bean. Included in it are telephony and ports. But apart from that, there are also signs of the transition to a political regime. Suddenly, the problem of local government appeared before us one morning. Is this a coincidence? How will the legislation be completed within a month? How will it catch up in November?"
