Under the title “There is no answer for two months”, Turkish Cypriot daily Ortam (12.12.11) reports that Ahmet Kaptan, chairman of the so-called civil servants’ trade union (KTAMS), in a written statement yesterday, said that some trade unions members of the Trade Union Platform asked from the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu, for an appointment in order to be briefed on the latest developments in the negotiation process, but they received no answer for two months.
Kaptan noted that Eroglu should not forget that he is carrying-out the negotiations on behalf of the people and that he is obliged to inform the people about the negotiations.
Ahmet Kaptan stated further that although Eroglu has committed himself after the “elections” to resume the inter-communal negotiations from the point they were interrupted, yet, he has rejected the issues which had been agreed between the former Turkish Cypriot leader Talat and President Christofias, and this, according to Kaptan shows that he is against the solution.
Kaptan said that the fact that those, who are close to Eroglu, use the expression “end game” is not a coincidence.
He went on saying that it is the time for the Turkish Cypriots who are in favour of the solution and for all the sides which want peace, to be united and get into action in order for a solution to be found to the Cyprus problem.
