A noble Northern Cyprus celebration – at its 100th year

Cypriot Turkish Communities Association (CTCA) is set to start off the long anticipated the 1st Northern Cyprus Turkish Culture Festival at the Rugby Club in Chingford.

The festival will be a showcase to Turkish Cypriot cultural values and treasures, starting from music to traditional dance performances with presentations and briefings.

The council’s president Leyla Kemal stated that as CTCA they are working ultimately hard to make sure the festival would be great.

Many Turkish Cypriots, who fled the country and therefore grew an enduring longing to Cyprus will end at this festival. As many compromises and devotions have been made to make the festival happen, the festival will comprise the delicacies from the one and only Turkish Cypriot cuisine along with Osman Balıkçıoğlu Cabaret performances and musical festivities by Arif Edizer, Bora Serbülent, Zülal, Osman-Kelebekler, SOS Grubu, Kıbrıs Dörtlüsü and Dj Ahmet.

Towards the big day, the promotion endeavours are enduring as many advertisements inside some tube stations, delicately picked from the spots which have the highest rate of Turkish speaking communities live, can be seen. Some of the stations are Finsbury Park, Chingford, Southgate, Cockfosters, Wood Green, Tottenham Hale, Leytonstone and Walthamstow under and overground stations.
