LEFKOSA - After receiving the mandate to form the new Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus government from President Rauf Denktas, the Republican Turk Party (CTP) leader Mehmet Ali Talat and Democrat Party (DP) leader Serdar Denktas have agreed on forming a new coalition government.
According to the compromise and mutual agreement, CTP will have seven and DP will have three members in the TRNC cabinet.
Both CTP and DP will convene in their respective groups tomorrow to draft a political, economic, commercial, cultural and social manifesto.
Sources in TRNC say that it is not yet known which ministries will be presented to CTP and DP.
TRNC became independent in 1983. The Turks of Cyprus suffered oppression and violence from Greek Cypriots for many years, before Turkey, as a guarantor nation intervened mounting a ''Peace Operation''. This way Turkey saved the innocent lives of thousands of Turkish Cypriots.
To this day, most political experts around the world cannot understand why the Turkish Cypriots, despite being the ones who have been butchered and slain by Greek Cypriot terrorists, under the umbrella of a group called ''EOKA,'' can still not make their voice heard or respected, told a political scientist at Bilkent University in Ankara.
