Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of Turkey's largest opposition party CHP, stated that the northern part of Cyprus should be called the 'Turkish Republic of Cyprus'.

Turkey's main opposition CHP party faces fresh disarray after court-installed leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu visited party headquarters following a controversial court ruling that scrapped a 2023 party primary.

A commentary suggests that Kemal Kilicdaroglu, once seen as a formidable opponent to Turkish President Erdogan, is now complicit in Erdogan's efforts to dismantle Turkish democracy, disappointing those who hoped for change.
