Turkish-Cypriot Politician Switches to Ozersay Party
Former Turkish-Cypriot 'Health Minister' Izlem Gurcag Altugra has withdrawn from the ruling coalition party UBP and announced her defection to the centrist, anti-corruption party HP. The HP is led by Kudret Ozersay, the former Turkish-Cypriot chief negotiator. Altugra justified her switch by expressing doubts about the UBP's viability for the future.
