The day-long conference promises to be a pivotal platform for fostering economic growth and international collaboration.
President Ersin Tatar’s Vision for TRNC
In his keynote address, President Ersin Tatar emphasized the TRNC’s resilience and growth, particularly in its 41st year of independence.”TRNC continues to grow stronger by promoting its relationship with Motherland Türkiye,” Tatar said. He highlighted the diaspora’s importance, noting that many Turkish Cypriots migrated to England and Australia during British colonial rule, resulting in a larger population abroad than within the TRNC.
Tatar also underscored the importance of strengthening ties with Turkish Cypriots living abroad, particularly in Germany, where an estimated 4 million Turks reside. “The 100 million Turks, both in Turkey and abroad, are the greatest strength of the Turkish Cypriots,” he said, inviting German investors to view the TRNC as their “home.”
The president further emphasized the TRNC’s strategic position as “the entrance to the Mediterranean” and its improved relations with member countries of the Organization of Turkish States. He cautioned against underestimating these developments, stating, “TRNC is an independent Turkish state in the south, and these are not developments to be taken lightly.”
Tatar criticized efforts by Greek Cypriots to undermine the TRNC politically and economically,asserting,”They will never succeed in destroying us,as 100 million Turks stand behind us.” He reiterated the TRNC’s commitment to peace, tranquility, and security, which he attributed to the support of the Turkish people.
Addressing the Cyprus issue,Tatar insisted on the necessity of two states and Turkey’s guarantee,including the presence of Turkish troops. “We will not sit at the negotiating table without sovereign equality and equal international status,” he declared, vowing to continue efforts to elevate the TRNC’s global profile.
Tatar also criticized British prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to meet only with the Greek Cypriot Governance in Southern Cyprus, stating that the Turkish Cypriots remain the essential element in the region. He reiterated his controversial statement that “there is no Cypriot nation,” asserting that while people can be born in Cyprus, the term “Cypriots” does not exist—only Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots.
Inviting investors from Germany and beyond, Tatar highlighted opportunities in agriculture, education, tourism, construction, and real estate. “TRNC is a success story in the Eastern Mediterranean,and this success was not easy to achieve,” he said,acknowledging the challenges and hardships faced along the way.
Okyay Sadıkoğlu’s Commitment to Promoting TRNC
Okyay Sadıkoğlu, President of the Northern Cyprus Promotion Platform, provided insights into the platform’s mission and achievements. He emphasized the importance of “Cyprus as a national cause” and detailed the organization’s efforts to promote the TRNC internationally, including recent collaborations with President Tatar and Minister Ertuğruloğlu.
Sadıkoğlu expressed optimism about the future, stating, “We will continue to conduct studies that will contribute to the TRNC.” His commitment to fostering economic and diplomatic ties underscores the platform’s role in shaping the TRNC’s global narrative.
