While the Turkish Cypriot people made the island of Cyprus, they fought at the expense of their lives. Before EOKA, the Turkish Cypriot people were the target of the Greeks and the Church who adopted the ideal of Enosis.
The freedom of the Turkish Cypriot depending on human rights and human rights was tried to be destroyed beyond weakening.
A civilian, democratic and polyphonic structure was one of the goals of our struggle for national existence.
While the security forces was founded, he undertook the military duty of TMT. UBP took over TMT’s political flag. This is a process, and in the governments where we are active in both UBP and existence, we take the TMT’s understanding of democracy forward.
In the TRNC, the press is free.
Even those who are not journalists prefer to broadcast by declaring themselves as a journalist and watch patience.
Human rights are in front of all rights.
Freedom of lie is not freedom of thought.
It is not an attack, thought or freedom of media on personality rights.
All kinds of publications on the common values of the society are not a use of freedom.
Those who do not know the freedom of thought are the enemy of freedom of thought. We follow the publication, which targets the historical personality of our founding President Rauf Denktaş in accordance with the weight of our state of law.
Our government and personally are in a certain determination about the need for this issue. Rauf Denktaş has a high reputation in the whole world of Turkishness as a leading qualified individual of the Turkish Cypriot people. The separation of us physically does not prevent him from living forever with his ideas. These thoughts are our community leader. Fazıl Küçük and is also valid for our names that contribute to our struggle in all areas of life.
We have to protect social peace with high sensitivity.
Every tolerance to approaches, which has nothing to do with freedom of thought, encourages those who have a similar approach.
Anyone who values freedom of thought, political parties and non -governmental organizations should not hesitate to take a stand against the approaches that harm freedom of thought.
All kinds of publications, declarations and approach that harm freedom are like snakes. The day comes and puts those who watches today. Nobody can say, ‘Let the snake live a thousand’.
