THIS JUST ABOUT SUMS UP THE LEVEL OF ALLEGED CORRUPTION THAT OCCURS IN NORTH CYPRUS

Political parties bought votes for cash in last Sunday’s general election in the north, Turkish Cypriot politician Serdar Denktash said yesterday.
According to the daily Cyprus Mail, Denktash said, “We also bought votes. If there is any party that says it doesn’t also do so, let them come forward and I’ll put the proof in front of them. They’ve all done it, the UBP, the CTP, the TDP, all of them”.
The report adds that Denktash himself admitted to handing out around €10,000 to voters in last Sunday’s election – an admission that could, in theory, land him with a two-year prison sentence.
The opposition won a landslide victory in elections that some analysts say will jeapordise efforts to reunite the island.
It was a stinging defeat for the ruling Republican Turkish Party (CTP), a key ally of Mehmet Ali Talat, the Turkish Cypriot leader. – Copyright © Famagusta Gazette 2009
