Behind the scenes of TRNC Prime Minister Saner’s resignation

In his message, where he offered his thanks to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Vice President Fuat Oktay , Saner said, “I did everything I could to embrace everyone, despite all the injustices, conspiracies and attempts to prevent me.” 

After this new government crisis in the TRNC, eyes were once again turned to the lobby. It is among the information that UBP and DP will form a new government with the support of Bertan Zaroğlu , who left the Rebirth Party and founded the Nation Party .

Nicosia-based Journalist Nazar Erişkin evaluated the latest developments in TRNC politics to Cumhuriyet.com.tr .

INTERVENTION DISCUSSIONS

“The UBP-DP-YDP government was a minority government established after a highly controversial process. The congress process in the National Unity Party could not be completed in the second round, when both candidates were withdrawn. It brought controversy.”

“After an unfinished congress process that disturbed the party base, Ersan Saner, who was the Secretary General of the UBP, first became the party chairman and then became the prime minister. This government is a government he established, a tripartite minority government…”

Denktaş has recently come to the fore with allegations that the government delayed the construction of his father’s mausoleum, which was carried out in partnership with the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) and the Nicosia Turkish Municipality.”
