TRNC AMBASSADOR FOR London, Oya TuncalI has shared her message for the independence anniversary of Northern Cyprus, below is what she said:
Dearest Citizens and fellow brothers and sisters living in the United Kingdom,
We share the happiness and pride of celebrating 32 years of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot public, for years of battling for independence, with the support from the Republic of Turkey and Anatolian publics support, on 15 November 1983 the North side of Cyprus was announced it’s independence and became the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This is our battles most meaningful treasure and our most strongest decision.
Today we feel pride in what our Republic has gained, knowing that we have our own independent government, we are working hard to bring our government to the best point. In 32 years the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus has made a lot of progress in various areas, these include, living as a democracy, the independence working of the judgement in law, the rising of the economy, social justice and rights and freedom among so many others and has succeeded in protecting it’s social status.
Higher education and tourism are the two main sectors which create our country’s economy, Eastern Mediterranean with the specialties it offers is one of these. The water project that has been brought over from the motherland Turkey and began reaching homes in October (last month), is to bring value to our drinking and water that we use for gardening and plants. It will particularly allow our farming sector to progress, it is a project that will allow us to reach a green land and raise our potential in several sectors including tourism and business.
In 2004, we displayed our kindness and put it forward in the referendum, because of our goodwill approaches today the island is supporting political equalness and we are doing all we can to reach a permanent solution for both sides and both societies. There will be a solution that supports the decision of our island reaching peace.
I truly believe that our citizens in the UK will as always be willing to work with us and support us with solidarity in this challenge that the public of North Cyprus have been going through now for the last 50 years.
I want to pay my respects and remember the fallen soldiers who fought in order for the public of Northern Cyprus to gain their freedom, I greet our generals with appreciation and gratefulness and to all the citizens living in the United Kingdom, I wish them a happy Republic Anniversary with love and respect.
