Cicek: Turkish Government Expects Following Process To Be Well-evaluated In Cyprus

ANKARA - Justice Minister and government spokesman Cemil Cicek said on Monday that Turkish government expected the following process to be well-evaluated in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Following the meeting of Council of Ministers, Cicek told reporters that a democratic and successful election was held in TRNC on December 14, 2003.
Cicek said that Turkey was pleased with the result of the general election in TRNC in that sense.
TRNC had an institutionalized structure in democratic sense, Cicek noted.
Cicek went on saying, ''this election was held in front of eyes of everybody. Now, as the government, we expect a government to be formed in TRNC as soon as possible and the new government to start its initiatives as soon as possible. Because, there are some processes, problems, difficulties and obstacles before us. We should use our time well to overcome all these altogether.''
''We made an evaluation on this issue. The Foreign Ministry is carrying out a comprehensive work. If this work is concluded this week, it will be brought to Council of Ministers and then we will evaluate it. We expect the government to be formed in TRNC as soon as possible and the following process in TRNC to be well-evaluated,'' Cicek added.
