Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (14.09.12) reports that Mehmet Cakici, chairman of the Social Democracy Party (TDP) has accused self-styled prime minister, Irsen Kucuk of making a turn of 180 degrees by stating that no early “elections” will be held in the occupied area of Cyprus before 2014, and recalled that Kucuk had stated that the National Unity Party was the most prepared party for “elections”.

In a written statement issued yesterday, Cakici said Kucuk was afraid of early “elections”. Commenting on Kucuk’s statement that the call of the opposition parties for early “elections” was not convincing, Cakici challenged Kucuk to announce early “elections” in order “to see who is sincere and who is not sincere”.

Cakici argued that the UBP “government” made the people poorer, lead all sectors to bankruptcy and caused protest activities by all organizations. He expressed the view that the UBP does not enjoy enough support and tries to “survive” by transferring “MPs”. He argued that the UBP refrains from holding early “elections” because it is afraid of the anger of the “people”.

Meanwhile, according to Kibris, Mehmet Ozkardas, chairman of so-called public servants trade union, has expressed his full support to the three opposition parties, which cooperate for early “elections”, for the change of the “elections’’ system and for “paving the way of the people”.

Ozkardas sent a letter to TDP chairman Mehmet Cakici criticizing the UBP self-styled government and accusing it of not keeping the promises it had given before coming to “power”.
