Republican Turkish Party (CTP) Chairman Tufan Erhürman stated that he met with the Vice President of the Republic of Turkey, Cevdet Yılmaz, during his visit to the island, and said that CTP takes its decisions in its authorized bodies, meets with everyone and establishes dialogue with everyone.

Erhürman said, “I met with the Vice President of the Republic of Türkiye, Cevdet Yılmaz. I met at the Presidency, not in a secret place. “During Yılmaz’s previous visit, I met at a large meeting held on ‘Energy’ at the Presidency,” he said.

Stating that naturally the Parliament Speaker election was one of the topics discussed in his meetings with Yılmaz, Erhürman stated that he shared with Yılmaz the decision taken by their party, the press release he made and the elements in this statement before he came to the island.

Erhürman said, “As a matter of fact, CTP did what it said in the Assembly of the Republic, in the decision it made and in the press release.” he said.

In his written statement, Tufan Erhürman evaluated the current issues and responded to the allegations in the press today.

-“If I become a candidate, I will of course be a CTP candidate, not an independent candidate.”

Stating that they did not talk about anything with Cevdet Yılmaz about the Presidential election, Erhürman continued as follows:

“By the way, let me answer here once again a question that I have answered many times before, since it was brought up independently of the meeting with Yılmaz; Neither I nor our party have made a decision at the moment about whether I will be a candidate in the presidential election. But if I become a candidate, of course I will be a CTP candidate, not an independent candidate. It is probably out of the question for the CTP Chairman to be an ‘independent candidate’.“

Referring to his meetings with the Chairman of the Republican People’s Party, Özgür Özel, and his delegation, Tufan Erhürman said that they also discussed the Parliamentary Speakership election with Özgür Özel.

Erhürman made the following statements in his statement:

“Following Ozel’s visit to our island, someone asked, ‘Will CHP be involved in the presidential elections?’ within the framework of what he told on a TV program about the political developments here. “No one should have the slightest doubt, neither the CHP nor the CTP would have such a thought.”

Pointing out that CTP is a 54-year-old party that has produced a President, prime ministers and ministers, Erhürman emphasized that CTP has the ability and experience to communicate with all its interlocutors with self-confidence, in the language of diplomacy and the language of the world, even if there are differences of opinion.

-“Relations with Türkiye should be on the right basis, good relations”

Erhürman stated the following in his statement:

“He has been meeting with government officials from Turkey, as well as AKP and CHP officials, and will continue to do so. He recently held meetings in New York. He has always met with members of the Socialist International of which he is a member, EU and UN officials, and ambassadors on our island, and will continue to do so. And CTP is and will stand against any intervention against the will of the Turkish Cypriot people, no matter where it comes from, ‘without buts and buts’.

CTP’s position on relations with Türkiye, which has been stated many times, is clear: ‘Relations with Türkiye should be on the right basis, good relations’. Türkiye will talk to us, not to us, and we will talk to Turkey, not to Turkey. We have a lot to tell the world on behalf of our people. We have never imprisoned our people in Sarayönü, and we will not imprison them.

The will is here. “Both the Turkish Cypriot people and the CTP that emerged from them have full self-confidence.”
