LEFKOSA - Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) President Rauf Denktas started on Tuesday his second tour of meetings with leaders of political parties to form the new government.
Denktas received Mehmet Ali Talat, the leader of Republican Turkish Party (CTP), which was elected as the first party in Parliamentary elections.
No statements were released before the meeting that was closed to press.
Denktas had received the views of political party leaders for forming the government during his meetings last week and he had given time to leaders to hold meetings among themselves. Denktas will continue to receive views of leaders today.
Denktas is not expected to assign leaders with forming a government before parliament convene and deputies take oath on December 26.
