Pro-Turkey demonstration being organised in the North

60 non-governmental organisations are planning a demonstration to promote the Turkish Cypriot loyalty to Turkey; the completely opposite idea that was promoted by the union platform on the 28th of January and 2nd of March.

In the meantime, discussions at a meeting of the union platform with the political parties of the ‘government’ opposition, ended up in disagreement over several points. The unions wish to heighten their mobilization by organising demonstrations that would last for days (much like the recent Arab world movements), move the demonstration to the area of the ‘parliament’ and call all its member to resign. On the other hand the political parties in light of the possibility of early elections would like to keep a lower profile in fear of losing their position.
