Cyprus after the elections
I read the 48-page manifesto of the political party that won the general elections in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or TRNC. Like a sign on the window of a barber shop that reads "Free haircut tomorrow" but remains there always, the manifesto basically says, "The system of 1974 will come back, just vote for the National Union Party!"
Election displays Turkish Cypriot frustration with EU
The victory by the National Unity Party, or UBP, lead by former Prime Minister Dervis Eroğlu, in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or TRNC, clearly does not bode well for the settlement talks under way between Turkish Cypriot President Mehmet Ali Talat and his Greek Cypriot counterpart, Demetris Christofias.
Hope for solution faded in Cyprus?
There is panic on the Greek Cypriot side, as well as in the European and transatlantic quarters hoping to see a Cyprus settlement later this year or the latest by April, the end of the presidential term of President Mehmet Ali Talat, that the nationalist-patriot front getting some 63 percent of the vote in last Sunday’s election and the biggest party of conservative politics in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the National Unity Party, or UBP, obtaining 26 seats in the 50-member Turkish Cypriot Republican Assembly were setbacks to settlement efforts.
