The Science and Technology Center Science Nicosia has been opened in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the center located in the historic quarter of Arabahmet in the capital of Nicosia, which will provide young people with the opportunity to study for free with seminars in various fields of science, TRNC President Ersin Tatar expressed gratitude for Turkey's transfer of its achievements in technology to Northern Cyprus and said: "No one can block the path of our youth, our youth deserves everything."
Stating that if the Turkish Cypriot people and youth, who are subjected to all kinds of injustice under the embargo, are given opportunities, it will be possible to educate a new Aziz Sanjar, Tatar noted that the Turkish Cypriot people, who managed to survive despite great pressure and persecution, will also successfully progress in science and technology.
"Strong youth is coming"
Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Ashkin Bak stressed that science is an important force, and recalled that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attaches great importance to science and technology.
Stating that the youth of the TRNC can make a significant contribution to the future of the country by kneading it with the help of science and technology, Buck said: "Strong youth is coming. The door is open here for young people to be interested in science and technology. There are so many opportunities for young people at this door. Young people come to show that the world is bigger than 5".
Drawing attention to Turkey's investments in national technologies and developments in the defense industry over the past 21 years, Bak noted that Turkey has gained significant power thanks to the latest developments in these areas.

Baykar Chairman of the Board and Head of Technology Selcuk Bayraktar also recalled that more than 1 million participants applied to participate in the Technofest held in Turkey this year, and expressed his belief that young people can change the world with the help of technology and science.
Noting that Science Nicosia will provide young people with the opportunity to study while having fun at seminars on mathematics, astronomy, space and aviation, design, agriculture, natural sciences and entrepreneurship, Bayraktar said: "We are committed to holding Teknofest in Northern Cyprus as soon as possible."
