The Northern Cyprus Peace Day: 20th July message from Oya Tuncali

On the 42nd anniversary of Northern Cyprus’ Freedom and Peace day, Oya Tuncali Representative of Northern Cyprus published a statement congratulating everyone’s day along with a briefing on the significance history the 20th July holds.

Oya Tuncali said:

“Cypriot Greeks, had been brutally neglecting Turkish Republic’s equal consociate Cypriot Turks between the years 1963-1974. This situation, had put our people’s lives under threat and danger. However despite all bumps and obstacles, Turkish Cypriots never gave up and carried on fighting and resisting. This honourable resistance, on the 20th of July 1974 had reached its climax and has been celebrated as Northern Cyprus’ Independence, Freedom and Peace day.

I would like to extend my humble thanks to the heroic Turkish armed forces, our patient and equally heroic community, and all our cooperatives along with wishing my condolences for the lives that were lost.

Happy Peace and Freedom day to you all”
