Members of The Turkish Cypriot Youth and Family Association (KTGAB) met with officials in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
KTGAB Chair Nafiiya Horozoğlu and KTCAG’s TRNC Representative Erden Pekri met with TRNC President Ersin Tatar as well as TRNC Prime Minister Ersan Saner and TRNC Tourism and Environment Minister Fikri Ataoğu.
The officials stated that they cared about the establishment of KTGAB, congratulating the young people members that formed the union, and promised to support the projects of KTGAB as the State.
Mentioning the aims of KTGAB, Horozoğlu made the following statement: “Crime rates are increasing rapidly, especially in London, and we do not feel safe. For this reason, we are constantly organizing activities that will attract the attention of our young people in order to keep them away from the streets. Our aim is to prevent the assimilation of our youth in England, to introduce our culture to our youth and to protect the Turkish Cypriot identity.
“We will do our best to strengthen our bond with our country. Various studies have been carried out and will continue in a more comprehensive way so that our young people are equipped about their culture and identities, get to know their culture and keep it alive.”
Congratulating the young people, President Tatar said that despite all the difficulties, never give up. Saying “You’re accomplishing a very difficult thing and effectively organizing young people who are the guarantee of our future. You are our pride and you are the representatives of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Despite everything, never lose hope, never give up. “
TRNC Prime Minister Ersan Saner and TRNC Minister of Tourism and Environment Ataoğlu stated that Horozoğlu is actively working in the UK, especially for the Turkish Cypriot youth, and that he is following it with appreciation and noted that they received information about his work in the UK at the Prime Ministry. Noting that they are always ready to help young people, the officials also said that those abroad are ambassadors of the TRNC and that they trust the young people very much in this regard.
