In its report of 7 November 2026, Kıbrıs Türk covered the remarks of Rebirth Party (YDP) leader Erhan Arıklı on Yüz Yüze, the programme produced and presented by Cem Kar on Genç TV.

According to the report, Arıklı argued that demanding recognition of the TRNC while federation talks continue is contradictory, and that the goal of recognition should be set out with clear political will and the right to self-determination exercised through a referendum. He also criticised President Tufan Erhürman’s stance of returning to the negotiating table on the condition of a rotating presidency.

Arıklı added that after the elections his party was open to forming a government with either UBP or CTP, but wanted a coalition protocol that puts public-sector reform, public transport and health legislation on a timetable.
