President Ersin Tatar held an online meeting with Azerbaijan’s leading media organisations where he explained the position of the Turkish Cypriot side in relation to the Cyprus issue and expressed solidarity with the people of Azerbaijan.
President Ersin Tatar congratulated Azerbaijan's victory in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is the justified cause of Azerbaijan and underlined that “this victory is not only that of the people of Azerbaijan but also the entire Turkish world”. The President added that this success was welcomed by the Turkish Cypriot people.
Stating that the Turkish Cypriot people have a bond of affection with Azerbaijan and that there are many Azerbaijani brothers living in the TRNC, President Tatar emphasised that “we are the siblings of the same nation. Our hearts are one. We share the same excitement and destiny. Your sadness is our sadness, your joy is our joy.”
President Tatar underlined that Turkey, Azerbaijan and TRNC will always be a whole as "One Nation, Three States,” and stated that our struggle in Cyprus is a struggle not only for the future and security of the Turkish Cypriot people, but also for the entire Turkish world.
Underlining that the Turkish Cypriot people are sovereign as Greek Cypriots, the President emphasised that the Turkish Cypriots proclaimed the TRNC by exercising their right of self-determination and that the TRNC is a democratic state with fully-fledged institutions and organisations. He emphasized that the Turkish Cypriots achieved great success especially in the university and tourism sectors with the support of Motherland Turkey, despite the inhumane isolations imposed by the whole world.
The President emphasised that the Turkish Cypriots have been paying a great price for decades, and pointed out the importance of Azerbaijan and the Turkish world in understanding the nature of the Cyprus issue and the honourable struggle for existence of the Turkish Cypriot people. He said it was important for support from the participants to be given in order to convey this to the general public of Azerbaijan through their news reporting and columns.
The participants stated that they are honoured to be included in the meeting being held on the anniversary of the "Victory March" held in "Azatlık Square", which is a very important day in the history of Azerbaijan, and emphasised that they see the TRNC in the same light as their homeland. Underlining that the TRNC should not be left out of the Council of the Turkic World, the participants stated that the facts on the Island will be accepted by the international community sooner or later and expressed their wish for the relations between the two countries to be at the highest level. Expressing their belief that the steadfast stance of the Turkish Cypriot people is appreciated by the Turkish world and that they are sure that they will obtain the value they deserve in the near future, the participants noted that their hearts and prayers are always with the Turkish Cypriot people.
The participants stated that they would like to host President Ersin Tatar in Azerbaijan, and expressed that they are ready to help in the development of all kinds of assistance and cooperation to improve ties and cooperation between the two countries.
