The 39th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was celebrated with a reception held in İzmir.

TRNC Consul General to İzmir Ayşen Volkan İnanıroğlu stated that the TRNC was founded as a result of honorable struggle for existence, and belief for independence, and sovereignty of the Turkish Cypriot people who showed great sacrifice against oppression and injustice.

Noting that they did their best for the TRNC to be recognized all over the world, İnanıroğlu added that the Turkish Cypriot people continue to develop in all areas against all kinds of obstacles and restrictions.
