Kudret Ozersay is stepping into Northern Cypriot politics by opening up a new party called People’s Party (Halkin partisi).
Kudret Ozersay was Mustafa Akinci’s most important opposition in the North Cyprus presidential election. He made a press release informing the public of the establishment of his new party as of Jth of January 2016/
Kudret said in the press release that bad governance was the main reason for the erosion in Cypriot politics.
“We need a different view on politics in our country. The people’s vision is bright and progressive – we have portrayed that in our logo,” he said.
Our party is not open to all
Pressing on the notion of representing the public interest at large, Ozersay has announced the party will not be accepting all membership, including anyone that has left their party in protest.
He went on to speak about relations with Turkey: “To have good, healthy relations with Turkey, we must leave an emptiness in our governance.” (Thus giving away certain powers to mainland Turkey).
Ozersay said he is in favour of changing the 10th Constitutional amendment to help improve the economy and reduce military presence in certain regions.
