According to YENI DEMOKRAT (3/11/98), Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash
has said that at the forthcoming December 6 so-called elections he will
give his vote only to women candidates. ``As I perceive it, due to the
intransigence of men, women have avoided getting involved in dirty politics
so far'', he said.
[04] Turkish Cypriot farmers to receive economic aid
According to KIBRIS (3/11/98), the so-called prime minister of the
pseudostate, Dervis Eroglu, has declared that farmers, who have been
affected by the drought, will be given economic aid amounting to 3 billion
Turkish Lira.
Eroglu announced this after his meeting yesterday with Rauf Denktash.
Speaking to reporters, he said that Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz
personally assured him last Friday in Ankara that this aid will be
realized.
