Happy 43rd Anniversary of The Founding of The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

We proudly and joyfully celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
15 November 1983 stands as a historic expression of the Turkish Cypriot people’s determination for freedom, sovereignty, and the right to determine their own future, marking one of the most significant milestones in their pursuit of statehood.
The achievements to be attained in education, science, research, and higher education make significant contributions to the international visibility and prestige of our country as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus moves forward with confidence towards the future. Strengthening the quality of higher education, upholding academic values, and aligning with international standards are among the important responsibilities we all share in shaping this future.
On this meaningful occasion, we respectfully commemorate, with gratitude and deep appreciation, all those who contributed to the Turkish Cypriot people’s struggle for freedom and existence, particularly our Founding President Rauf Raif Denktaş and our community leader Dr. Fazıl Küçük, as well as our martyrs and veterans.
May the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus be celebrated with pride and joy.
