Eroglu: If We Will Form Government With Talat, He Is The Interlocutor Of Our Questions

LEFKOSA - National Unity Party (UBP) leader and Prime Minister Dervis Eroglu of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has criticized Republican Turkish Party (CTP) leader Mehmet Ali Talat who did not answered their 17 critical questions about the plan of United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, saying, ''if the government will be formed with the CTP-United Powers (BG) instead of Annan, Mr. Talat is the interlocutor of our questions.''
Responding questions of journalists following the meeting of the UBP Assembly in which three written questions of the CTP were taken up, Eroglu said, ''the CTP has been defending the Annan Plan since the very beginning. However, it could not answer our questions about the plan. We have decided to respond questions of the CTP after we receive answers to our questions. Although he gave us a certain period, we do not put a time restriction.''
When asked, ''it was claimed that the CTP would form a coalition government with the Democrat Party (DP) with the support of the Peace and Democracy Movement (BDH). Do you have any information about it?'' Eroglu said, ''it can be possible. However, I do not have any information about it.''
