Turkish Cypriot Trade Unions announced that there will be a second major protest against the Prime Minister of Turkey tomorrow Monday 7th, in the wake of offensive statements about the January 28th rally in occupied Nicosia.

Furious about the protests Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, did not hesitate to reiterate that the Cypriot Government is behind them and urged the Turkish Cypriot leadership to deal with them. He added that Turkey will take measures against them since it cannot tolerate this attitude from Turkish Cypriots. Speaking on the phone with T/C leader Dervis Eroglu he expressed his anger about the situation, and using sharp words referred to the involved trade unions in the style of ‘who are they’ and said that they should be brought to court. Following their phone conversation Eroglu held a meeting this afternoon with the parliamentary party leaders to assess the situation.
