Özgür Özel, presidente del Partito popolare repubblicano (CHP), ha risposto alle domande dei giornalisti in un briefing settimanale della stampa:
+ Mentre il salario minimo è ₺22.000 in Turchia, è ₺44.506 nella Repubblica turca del Nord Cipro. Come lo valuti, nonostante il fatto che siano la piccola patria?
– Cipro non è la “madrepatria”; È una madrepatria fratello. La Repubblica turca di Cipro settentrionale è un’entità indipendente con la propria Costituzione, Parlamento e parlamentari. È una struttura che non è stata allevata da nessuno e non sarà pensato in questo modo. Non intendevo offenderti, ma neghi deliberatamente questa terminologia spinta dal regime. Per la tua domanda, sebbene quel divario non sia sufficiente per i lavoratori del TRNC, costituisce un’altra prova su quanto sia governata la Turchia.
Turkey's CHP opposes the term 'baby motherland', insists that Turkish Cypriots must be independent on their own

I’m still sceptical of how much the CHP would follow on everything they’ve been saying recently, they might just end up repeating them without any real change or even stop saying them after gaining power. However, honestly, even if Turkey’s behaviour to us doesn’t immediately change, just changing the rhetoric about us alone would be a pretty major step towards it.
The CHP itself is changing, it’s really not the same party from years prior, so ig in case of Erdo’s overthrow (*big if*) I’ll be following with cautious optimism. Whether we like it or not, Turkey is the only party who can change anything on here anymore.
When Akıncı said this “brother homeland” thing back in 2015 he got the average backlash. Perhaps now it’s time for CHP to get yet another accusation?
In all seriousness, the streak Özel goes on is giving promise to people to people that things will get better in Turkey. Of course we shouldn’t expect this future CHP government to end occupation of Cyprus in an instant, but nevertheless a preliminary assumption that a CHP government in this line being more inclined to find a solution wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate.
Even then, we have two caveats:
-How much the dynamics within Turkish state will allow such direction, especially given Turkey’s “big player” pretences have Cyprus as an integral part.
-How much of the damages of 1974 will be recovered and compensated.
