President Ersin Tatar has once again drawn attention to the fact that there were two separate peoples in Cyprus.
Stating that the existence of two separate peoples in Cyprus was shouted out to the world, the President said “we are trying to prove our existence and our freedom.”
President Ersin Tatar attended a ceremony on Sunday held at the premises of the Civil Defence Organization on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the Cyprus Turkish Retired Military Officers Association.
According to information given by the TRNC Presidency, President Tatar stressed that it was not easy to reach these days and that it was not possible to forget the heroism of the officers who fought to protect the Turkish Cypriot people during the years of struggle.
“We paid a great price, gave martyrs, experienced genocide, suffered and finally established a state, a republic. We will protect this republic until the end with the support of our motherland Türkiye” he said.
“History was written there, when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for the end to the embargoes and isolations imposed on the Turkish Cypriots at the UN General Assembly in New York,” the president said, thanking Erdoğan who also called upon the international community to recognize the TRNC.
He said that history should not be forgotten and told, adding that they were resisting games played by the Greek-Greek Cypriot duo to unite the island to Greece.
“We are rendering a great service to our nation in the execution of this sacred cause. We must preserve our unity and solidarity,” President Tatar stressed.
The president also said that they were voicing to the world at every opportunity that there are two seperate peoples in Cyprus.
Tatar also warned that there were efforts to redesign the Eastern Mediterranean, stating that it was their duty to protect their rights and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean by strengthening the TRNC together with the Motherland Türkiye.
