President Ersin Tatar recalled that the Turkish Cypriot people, who were sovereign equal partners in the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus partnership, were excluded by force of arms from the partnership, and that a new era began after the Peace Operation carried out on July 20, 1974.
"Whilst we continue our existence on this island with our honour, Motherland Republic of Türkiye has always been by our side, and her presence is a great strength and hope for us. Now, here again in this historic meeting, I congratulate with all my heart the UBP, the New Azerbaijan Party and the AK Party,” President Tatar said.
President Tatar emphasised that the Turkish Cypriots have always followed the footsteps of Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, emphasising that efforts are ongoing for further development of the TRNC.
President Ersin Tatar said: "There is tourism, agriculture and industry here, but with the current technological developments too, all of these give us hope that we can become an island of information technology and a centre of attraction. In order to achieve all these, it is extremely important for our youth to keep up with all these innovations and build the future here accordingly." President Tatar also expressed his belief that political and economic cooperation will also be strengthened “through the One Nation, Three States motto”.
President Tatar paid tribute to the young participants and wished them success in the workshop.
