The Speaker of Parliament Sibel Siber has issued a message to mark the 53rd anniversary of the Erenköy Resistance.

Siber said that the Erenköy resistance has a great importance and meaning in the Turkish Cypriot people’s struggle for existence.

She said, “It is an epic story in the Turkish Cypriot history. Turkish Cypriot university students left their future dreams and education aside to go to Erenköy with boats under primitive conditions, and joined the struggle for salvation with common feelings and without fear”.
