Eroglu stated that he considers occupied Famagusta area as his “country’s land”
According to illegal Bayrak television (13.10.12), the so-called Maras union and solidarity association together with the “TRNC Greenhouse Union” hosted a solidarity dinner.
The Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu, “prime minister” Irsen Kucuk, the so-called Turkish ambassador to occupied Lefkosia Halil Ibrahim Akca, political party leaders and representatives attended the dinner.
Making a statement during the solidarity dinner, Eroglu alleged that the first displaced immigrants were relocated to the Famagusta area and therefore he always accepted these lands as his “country”.
Reminding that they had fought in order to strengthen the “states foundations”, he said: “the greatest gain for us has been our statehood. We have come to where we are today due to unity and solidarity” said Eroglu, adding that he was very proud to be living under the roof of a “state”. “If we did not have the support of motherland Turkey we would never be able to live free and safely under the roof of the TRNC”, Eroglu and added that it was everyone’s duty to protect the “nation” and carry it forward to a better future.
The so-called “prime minister” Irsen Kucuk also addressed the dinner and noted that it was a trait of the Turkish nation to unite and therefore will continue to do so in the future as well.
Referring to the water that will be brought to the “TRNC” from Turkey, Kucuk said that some of this water will be used for agriculture and will therefore solve some of the problems that are being experienced in the sector.
The so-called Turkish ambassador to occupied Lefkosia, Halil Ibrahim Akca also said a few words during the dinner and praised the “TRNC” as it had proved it could be successful to the Turkic world and was continuing on its own path.
