President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Ersin Tatar: "First of all, welcome to the ancestral homeland. I am very glad to welcome you here and unite three important countries: Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus."
"Tatarin, Cyprus is the window and door of the Turkic world opening in the Mediterranean"
"While the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus occupies its place in history, it is in a way the window and door of the entire Turkic world opening to the Mediterranean. Politically, economically, and even militarily, our right to the seas is an extremely important national value from the point of view of our law. This is the importance of Cyprus," he said.
Tatar stated that thanks to the steadfast spirit of the Turkish Cypriots, they did not fall in the face of the massacre committed by the Greek Cypriot side, they were able to organize, and they overcame difficult times by consulting with Turkey.
Stating that the TRNC is currently participating in various international meetings in the world with the support of Turkey, Tatar noted that the state structure of the TRNC is formed by the democratic order and related institutions and organizations.
Speaking about the strategic importance of Cyprus, Tatar said:
Cyprus is a position consisting of a number of legal and strategic benefits that affect not only us living there, but also national security, with its maritime jurisdiction and airspace directly over the blue homeland. Cyprus is important to him. That is why we often see that we need to preserve the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as an independent Turkish state. We often see and hear these assessments both on TV screens and in political statements. While the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus occupies its place in history, it is in a way the window and door of the entire Turkic world, opening to the Mediterranean. the door of the entire Turkish world leading to the Mediterranean Sea. This is an extremely important national value from the point of view of political, economic and, of course, our right to the sea. That's what Cyprus is.
"Kyrgyzstan is also a country that has an important strategy for us."
Recalling that on November 11, 2022, through the efforts of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the TRNC joined the Organization of Turkic States (OTG) with observer status, Tatar said: "The fact that the Turkish people, who are an integral part of the community, a nation that ultimately claims its right to determine its own future as an independent and free people, have reached this stage in the Organization of Turkic States with their own state, is certainly an important milestone for us. In this context, our fraternal country Kyrgyzstan is also a country that has an important strategy for us. He also said that we are open to all kinds of bilateral relations between the two countries.
Expressing gratitude to TRNC President Ersin Tatar for the kind reception, Honorary Consul of Kyrgyzstan in Turkey Atillahan Kurt said "Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan are our national cause."
Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan are our national business. We declare that one of our national duties is to work with all our might to recognize the independence of the TRNC in the international community and so that Turkish Cypriots can live freely under the flag of the independent and sovereign Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
As the Honorary Consul of Kyrgyzstan in Turkey, I say: long live the brotherhood of the Turkish Republic, the State of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus until the end of time.
"Today, in an effort to ensure economic, political and cultural renewal between Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, we also want further commercial exchange and cultural ties between Kyrgyzstan and Cyprus. We want to bring the Turkish experience here through non-governmental organizations and our businessmen. We want Kyrgyzstan to become a bright star in this region, making Kyrgyzstan's underground and aboveground resources more productive for the benefit of the Kyrgyz people. Of course, all this will happen with a common mind, a common heart, a common benefit and will be further strengthened by our brotherhood."
