Leader of the United Cyprus Party (BKP) Izzet Izcan, gave a written evaluation about the military coup attempt in Turkey and its effects on the TRNC.
Expressing his deep sorrow over the incidents in Turkey, Izcan argued that “it has been revealed once again, that they [TRNC] need a modernised Constitution and a democratic administration and that neither they nor Turkey need dictators who consider themselves to be unique”.
Describing North Cyprus” as “Turkey’s backyard”, Izcan stressed that all kinds of religious organisations in the TRNC which belong to the community, represent and practically implement whatever Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says – that “whatever happens [exists] in Turkey – also happens in the TRNC”.
