Turkish Cypriots were on Tuesday incensed Turkish nationalist political party MHP leader Devlet Bahceli’s comments as he twice called for northern Cyprus to join Turkey in the aftermath of a landslide Turkish Cypriot leadership election victory for Tufan Erhurman, who supports the island’s reunification.
Turkish Cypriot Nicosia mayor Mehmet Harmanci led the charge, saying that Bahceli’s “concern is not a political vision of the love of his country or homeland”.
