[edit] Photo

Dearie me, that is an unfortunate photo of Mr Denktash we have there. I'll grant he's no prettyboy, but shouldn't we have something a bit more formal? The one on Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus seems rather more appropriate. Comments? -- Finlay McWalter 17:16, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Well I can't help what he looks like. It's not meant to be an insulting photo, just a standard news pic. Adam 00:17, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I asked the TRNC President's office for a photo and Evrim Tolga sent this new picture. He did check the site so he is familiar with the terms of Wikipedia. ato 14:48, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Paphos is not located in the north of Cyprus. It's right next to the Akamas peninsula, which is the southernmost point of the island. (Pantelis Panayiotou, Nicosia, Cyprus)

I plan to make a few additions to this article shortly. If you want to fix my English, or make additions yourself. I'd appreciate you wait until Monday. Thanks. ato 04:04, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think I am done for now. I used information from the cited external links and History of Cyprus. This site contains a lot of information as well. ato 01:44, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 1981 Disputed Election

"Turkish Government has interfered with the election process from the lowest to the highest possible degree. In 1981 parliamentary elections three opposition parties won 21 out of 40 seats and declared immediately that they would be ready to form a coalition. Therefore, the main opposition party (Communal Liberation Party , then presided by Alpay Durduran) was supposed to be given the duty to form the government. However, the president declined to obey the tradition and both military and civilian officials from the then military dictatorship in Turkey interfered and did not allow a government to be formed until two of the opposition MPs left the coalition and joined the ruling party for a coalition. This example shows an interference to the electoral process from the highest degree." From http://www.cyprusaction.org/humanrights/elections/ . I'm sure you can get much more info on this in turkish.
