Ersin Tatar, the 5th President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), attended the conference titled “Turkish Presence in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Strategic Importance of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” held at the Yalova Chamber of Commerce and Industry (YTSO) Conference Hall.

In his speech here, Tatar said that there has been a search for a solution on the basis of federation in Cyprus for about 60 years.

“A NEW ERA HAS STARTED WITH Türkiye”

Stating that a new era began in their struggle when Türkiye set foot on the island, Tatar said, “In 1983, with the declaration of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus by the Founding President Rauf Denktaş, it was shown to the whole world that a single state approach in Cyprus was not possible. However, under the conditions of that period, the search for partnership with a federal solution approach continued. Time was spent in all kinds of negotiations for an agreement on a federal basis for more than 60 years. However, in the end, the Greek Cypriots never showed good will and rejected all proposals.” he said.

Tatar continued by explaining that although 15 different proposals were brought to the table, the processes remained inconclusive due to the attitude of the Greek side:

“In the last Annan Plan, about 20 years ago, we Turks said ‘yes’ and the Greeks said ‘no’. Despite this, they accepted the Greek side into the European Union. In other words, the side that said ‘no’ to the Annan Plan was rewarded with European Union membership. This made the solution of the Cyprus issue even more difficult. Because they are now in the European Union. Greece is also in the European Union. The meeting held in Crans-Montana, Switzerland in 2017 “There were no results in the negotiations. The solution model based on the Federation is now behind us. That is why we defend the two-state policy and continue to explain this policy on international platforms.”

“TOGETHER WITH Türkiye, WE PROTECT OUR RIGHTS, LAW AND OUR HONOR IN THIS REGION”

Referring to the importance of the Turkish Cypriot people continuing to exist as a separate state and a separate sovereign people, Tatar stated that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not just about the 3,800 square kilometers of land in the north.

Emphasizing that the country also has a large area of ​​sovereignty with its maritime jurisdiction areas, continental shelf, territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, Tatar said:

“Together with Turkey, we protect our rights, law and honor in this region. We are taking strong steps towards the future with the understanding of motherland, daughter homeland, Blue Homeland and sky homeland. The Republic of Turkey is my homeland. It is the most powerful country in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Blue Homeland. It is the guarantor state. The Republic of Turkey will protect its historical rights, law and all the opportunities it has until the end. There is only one truth. All these are temporary. The important thing is, as Rauf Denktaş said. Sovereignty is title. State means the future. State means security, peace, peace and stability. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus may not be recognized today, but it is our flag, our homeland, our history and our spirituality. It suits.”

The program was attended by Yalova Governor Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Usta, Yalova Mayor Mehmet Gürel, Yalova Karamürselbey Training Center Garrison Commander Rear Admiral Mehmet Tahir Göncüoğlu, Yalova University Rector Prof. Dr. Mehmet Bahçekapılı, YTSO Chairman of the Board Cemil Demiryürek, AK Party Provincial Chairman Umut Güçlü, political party and NGO representatives and citizens attended.

Turkuvaz Media, which has made dozens of documentaries about the treacherous coup attempt of July 15, stood on the right side of history during the Gezi Park events, told the facts about FETO in the December 17-25 conspiracy, reminded what should not be forgotten in the old Türkiye and explained the vision of the new Türkiye, is again under attack from international mechanisms.

Whenever Türkiye enters a critical period, Turkuvaz Media, which stands by the national will and is the voice of the nation, is targeted with perception operations.

AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman, who did not remain silent against this dirty campaign, said, “I would frown on anyone who would talk about Turkuvaz Media. Turkuvaz Media’s stance against the Gezi Park protests is clear. Its stance against the attacks of the PKK terrorist organization is clear. Its stance against the July 15 FETO coup attempt is clear. Turkuvaz Media’s stance on 17-25 December is clear. Turkuvaz Media’s stance against the political engineering of the Six-Party Table is clear.” he said.

“TURKUVAZ MEDYA STANDS BY Türkiye AND OUR NATION”

AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman, who clearly criticized the target behind the attacks, said, “He has no right to criticize our President and Turkuvaz Media. First, he needs to look in a mirror to speak out. Turkuvaz Media is the one who always stands by our President, not only our President, but also Turkuvaz Media Türkiye, stands by our nation, in all times of crisis, Turkuvaz Media defended democracy, defended the nation, defended freedoms, elected defended the government.” He conveyed the national stance of Turkuvaz Media with his words.

Turkuvaz Medya is on target again!

“TURKUVAZ MEDYA’S STANCE ON DECEMBER 17-25 IS CLEAR”

Recent events have brought to mind the question of whether the domestic apparatus of international mechanisms have come into play again.

A Haber and Sabah Newspaper became the media stronghold of the fight against FETO. While many media organizations did not show their side between 17-25 December, Turkuvaz Media revealed its stance from the first day.

A Haber alone has prepared nearly 30,000 hours of special content documentaries and files. Today, universities, institutions and researchers benefit from these archives. When documentaries that remind us of those days are broadcast today, they are still the most watched content among all news channels at that time.

Underlining the process and stance, AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman said, “The stance against the 15 July FETO coup attempt is clear. The stance of the struggle on 17-25 December is clear. Turkuvaz Media’s stance against the political engineering of the Six-Party Table is clear.” He once again confirmed his determination with his sentences.

“NO ONE CAN SAY ANYTHING TO OUR PRESIDENT”

So, who is behind the scenes of those who target Turkuvaz Media while attacks similar to the 17-25 December period are taking place?

AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman, who cracked the codes of the dirty move, said, “With this eastern cunning, ‘I am actually a chief. There are people around the chief who are close to the chief but are against the chief.’ In a sense, they want to clear the area around our President and remove from around our President the people who defended our President in the most courageous way in the most difficult times. No one can criticize our President. No one can speak ill of our President’s family. Our President and his family are our red line. “We will never allow this.” He declared that the operatives would not be allowed to pass.

Breaking news: Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Numan Kurtulmuş made important statements within the scope of the NATO Parliamentary Summit.

Highlights from Kurtulmuş’s speech;

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, spoke at the opening program of the NATO Parliamentary Summit in Istanbul. ‘Recently, as a result of the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, it has become possible to carry out prisoner exchanges repeatedly.’ Numan Kurtulmuş, Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, started his speech by saying, “Dear friends, now we wish the same perspective to prevail in today’s issues, in our region and in global issues. A good example of this is that a positive step has been taken to end the war between the United States and Iran, which has recently affected our region, not only our region, but also the whole world. We hope that the negotiations that started in Switzerland will be continued successfully until the end and that a permanent, fair peace, not just a ceasefire, will be achieved between the United States and Iran. “This is of vital importance for the region we are in, as well as for ensuring world peace. We hope that these peace efforts, these positive steps that have reached a certain stage, will not be disrupted by some provocations. For this reason, we hope that the international community, especially NATO member countries, will support this peace perspective and make efforts to prevent provocations.”

‘THERE IS NO WAY OTHER THAN THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION’

Kurtulmuş said, “Again, undoubtedly, one of the most important issues that threaten the world in terms of global peace is the developments in the Middle East and Palestine. Israel’s aggression, which has reached genocidal proportions, disregarding all international law and even according to all international legal norms, must be put to an end. The issue is not only the human tragedy experienced by the Palestinians, the issue is not only the civilian casualties approaching 100 thousand, the cities being burned, Gaza being wiped off the map; the issue is also Throwing a bomb on humanity’s future hopes is eliminating the future hopes of people and humanity. We hope and hope that the establishment of an independent, truly independent and sovereign State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital will be possible, and that it will be understood by the whole world that there is no other way than a two-state solution. The end of these aggressions of the Israeli government means not only the peace of the Palestinians, but also the guarantee of world peace. “The history of the Middle East teaches us that there can be no peace in the world without peace in the Middle East, and peace in the Middle East can never be achieved without the freedom of the Palestinians. As NATO member countries, we wish to provide the necessary support,” he said.

‘DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY WILL REACH STRONGER POINTS WITH Türkiye’S COOPERATION WITH MEMBER COUNTRIES’

Numan Kurtulmuş said, “Dear friends, I would also like to underline that increasing our national defense capacities and strengthening the cooperation in the field of defense among NATO member countries is very important for the future of our member countries and our alliance. Turkey, as a country that has made great progress in the defense industry in recent years, has made great innovations, has come to the fore in its ability to use high technologies and has produced very important defense industry products in the field of defense, is to share this capacity with the member countries and, in this context, to reach an agreement in the Hague, especially in Türkiye.” We hereby express once again that the determination of the 5 percent defense expenditures reached will be adopted by all member countries. Hopefully, these developments in the defense industry and Türkiye’s developments will come to stronger points in cooperation with the member countries. However, we would like to clearly state that the embargoes that some members continue to implement within the framework of this alliance membership are extremely one-sided, meaningless and not in line with the spirit of the alliance. “While we are ready, we hope that all countries will display the same behavior and approach towards Türkiye. In this context, I would like to express my gratitude to some of our member countries, especially Spain, for their support to Türkiye’s air defense system, especially against the increasing threats in the Middle East recently,” he said.

‘NATO IS AT A HISTORICAL TURNING, WORLD HISTORY IS AT A TURNING’

Kurtulmuş said, “NATO is at a historical turning point, the world is at a historical turning point. I would like to underline that we now have a responsibility to work together, to eliminate our risks together, to ensure the security of our member countries, as well as to contribute to world peace. Parliaments, in particular, are not only platforms where decisions are made in areas related to security doctrines and defense. Let’s open the doors to the establishment of a new world. I hope it will host constructive ideas.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sent a message to the opening of the Turkic World Week held in Baku on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the First Turcology Congress. Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Gökhan Yazgı read Erdoğan’s message.

Erdoğan pointed out that the intellectuals who participated in the First Turkology Congress demonstrated an astute will and vision through their consultations and decisions, as well as academic studies that shed light on today, and said:

“It is our common responsibility to keep this ideal, which the Baku Congress bequeathed to us, alive in every corner of our heartland, to strengthen it and to pass it on to future generations. As a matter of fact, we are deepening and diversifying our activities within the Turkish cooperation organizations, which are the manifestations of our institutional cooperation in the Turkish world, day by day, inspired by the great thinker İsmail Gaspirali’s motto ‘unity in language, thought and work’.”

Emphasizing that they continue to see the vision put forward by the Baku Congress as a beacon illuminating their path throughout this process, Erdoğan said, “Türkiye’s sincere wish is for the Turkish world to protect our common history, language and culture, and to build the Turkish Century with the strength we draw from our ancient past. In this context, we will make the Ankara Summit of the Organization of Turkic States, which we will organize next autumn and take over the term presidency from Azerbaijan, as a turning point that will guide our goal of integrating the Turkic world.” “We are working with all our strength to bring it.” he said.

Erdoğan underlined that it is not a coincidence that this event, like the First Turcology Congress, was held in Baku and made the following statements:

“Azerbaijan, one of the strongest advocates of the unity and solidarity of the Turkic world, continues to contribute to the common goals of the Turkish states today. With these thoughts, I congratulate all institutions and organizations of Azerbaijan who contributed to the organization of this event. On the occasion of the congress, I commemorate our ancestors who participated in the First Turcology Congress, and I pray that God will always preserve our unity, solidarity and brotherhood.”
