According to a report from the Cyprian newspaper “Politis,” Mehmed Ali Talat made it a task to achieve numerical equality between the Cyprian Greeks and the Cyprian Turks in the three main pillars of the state government – the Senate, the judicial power, and to a great extend in the executive authority.

Mehmed Ali Talat suggests a presidential council scheme, which is different from the expected Anan’s plan but is based on the Swiss model. In more detail his goal is to achieve:

For members of the presidential council - 4:3 Cyprian Greeks in relation to Cyprian Turks as opposed to the Anan’s plan, which suggests 4:2, and at a later stage 6:3. Also, from the 48 Senate members, an absolute majority of 13 Cyprian Greeks and 13 Cyprian Turks need to be chosen for members of the presidential council. The Anan’s plan anticipated a choice with a percentage of 2/5 of the senators from each community.

The presidential council will have a president and a vice-president with a five year mandate, which will change every year. The president of the Cyprian Greeks will be in office for three years, and the Cyprian Turks’ president - for two. Mehmed Ali Talat is preparing a new proposal, which includes a president and a vice-president elected by the citizens, but with separate elections in each country. Christofias suggests the election, for head of the state, to be done with a common bulletin, but Talat refuses, by stating that this way, the double-community tenet would be breached.

According to the article published in “Politis,” regarding the legislature, the leader of the Cyprian Turks proposes:

-          Upper house of 24 Cyprian Greeks and 24 Cyprian Turks members of the national assembly

-          Lower house with participation of 67:33 – Cyprian Turks being 1/3.

-          Veto according to the participation of the Lower House. Decisions won’t be made unless they are supported by ¼ of the Cyprian Turks parliament members.
