The message of the President's wife Sibel Tatar:
The "Lefkara Embroidery", which is an integral part of the Turkish Cypriot Culture as it is in our island, bas been the reflection of tolerance, sincerity and human love of the Mediterranean since its rooted history.
This friendship symbol of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has now also reinforced feelings of sincere friendship and brotherhood between Turkey and the TRNC and in this context, it is a great source of pride on behalf of myself and the Turkish Cypriot Community.
Upon the 37th anniversary celebrations of the establishment of the TRNC, the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his spouse Emine Erdogan and the accompanying delegation had visited our country and I am very pleased to see that First Lady Emine Erdoğan is wearing the Lefkara Embroidery mask that I gave her as a gift during their visit.
Whilst Lefkara Embroidery has continued its existence throughout the history as part of handicraft, the island of love, Cyprus and our culture, now it has once again made us feel the friendship and brotherhood.
On this occasion, I would like to express my gratitude to Mrs. Emine for her kindness, and I would like to emphasize that what is important is friendship and the rest is temporary.
