PRESIDENT TALAT AND TURKISH MINISTER CICEK DELIVER SPEECHES AT MAIN CEREMONY.
President Mehmet Ali Talat has said that was their responsibility to ensure a safe and secure future for future generations.
Addressing the main Independence Day ceremony in Lefkosa today, the President said that both he and the Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias possessed the necessary skill and diplomatic power to push for a solution in Cyprus.
“It is because we are well aware of our power and capabilities that we are hopeful peace and a solution in Cyprus” he added.
Celebrations to mark the TRNC’s 25th anniversary climaxed with the main ceremony at the Lefkosa Dr. Fazil Kucuk Boulevard.
Speeches were delivered at the ceremony before moving on to the parade.
The Turkish Minster of State in Charge of Cyprus Affairs Cemil Cicek who is in the TRNC to take part in the independence day celebrations delievered the first speech at the ceremony.
Addressing the crowd, the Turkish Minster said that the Turkish Cypriot people has proven its strength and the the TRNC gas become a element of peace and stability.
Stressing that no one should forget that the Turkish Cypriot people have certain principles regarding a comprehensive solution in Cyprus, Cicek said that the Turkish Cypriots will never abandon those principles.
Stating that Turkey, for years, has been working, and will continue to work for a just, lasting and sustainable solution in Cyprus, the Turkish Minister of State said that Turkey is never forced to choose between Cyprus and EU membership.
Pointing out that the TRNC economy has shown immense growth over the last 6 years, Minister Cicek said that the GNP had grown and that this trend towards economic growth should continue.
Addressing the crowd next, President Mehmet Ali Talat said that the TRNC had left behind a quarter of a century since its establishment and had as a result evolved into a mature state.
Pointing out that Turkish Cypriots were still tried to be punished for having set up their own state, Talat said “we need to ask ourselves at this point. Is the Turkish Cypriot people sentenced to be administered without a state? Would it have been easlier to solve the Cyprus Problem, had the Turkish Cypriot people not created its own administration? More importantly where would the Turkish Cypriots after a solution had they not created their own state and administration?”
Describing the ongoing negotiations as a ‘last chance’, the President pointed out that the rights the Turkish Cypriot Side was insisting on where rights they possessed and exercised for hundreds of years.
The President also said that the Turkish Cypriot people, despite its determination and persistence towards reaching a settlement, were still being unjustly made to pay the price of the non-solution on the island.
Explaining that the Turkish Cypriot Side knew clearly what it wanted out of the negotiations process, Talat said “we are working on all fronts to achieve a peace agreement, one that will safeguard the political equality of Turkish Cypriots in all walks of life and guarantee their right to self-administration.”
The President also pointed out that the TRNC had been initially established in 1983 as the Turkish Cypriot leg of a future bi-communal, bi-zonal federal Cyprus Republic.
“The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was not created to reinforce the division on the island, but just the opposite, but to prepare for a federal Republic, as desired by the United Nations, the European Union and the rest of the international community.

That looks more like a hysterical laugh to me - the type that often tries to hide crying!
What does it really matter to any GC what the TCs are celebrating? Is it not more important to concern yourselves with the possible ways of finding a solution to unite the country? If you believe you are negotiating witha nation of "morons" then you may as well give up now because no one will get anywhere by mud slinging or demeaning statements!
You just help gain more support for the right wing hard liners on this side; i.e. "look what the GCs think of us? and you want to live with them?". In fact as things stand, whilst you lot are taking the piss with the economic hardships in the North, it looks very much like UBP will definitely win the general election next year. I would like to see the chances of a united federal island then!
