Tatar: My hope is that the problems are resolved not with war and weapons, but through dialogue

President Ersin Tatar published a message about Miraç Kandili and the Russia-Ukraine war.

President Tatar's message is as follows:

“As the Turkish Cypriot people, the Turkish nation and the Islamic world celebrate the Mirac Kandili, we are watching the ongoing war in Ukraine with great concern and sadness. As the President of a people who lived through the deaths, pains and migrations of the war, the tears of the children in Ukraine and the cries of the mothers are tearing our hearts apart. The events in Ukraine have shown us once again that the guarantee of Motherland Turkey and the presence of Turkish soldiers in Cyprus are our only assurance and guarantee. My hope is that the problems between Russia and Ukraine will be resolved through dialogue, not war and weapons. On this blessed night, I wish wars to end and peace and tranquility to prevail all over the world.”
