We commemorate the Founding President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, late Rauf Raif Denktaş with respect, gratitude and mercy on the tenth anniversary of his passing away.

We will always remember his astute leadership and unique contributions to Turkish Cypriots’ fight for freedom, survival and security, in harmony and consensus with Motherland Türkiye.

Being aware of our historical and moral responsibilities, Türkiye will continue to give full support to the resolute struggle of the Turkish Cypriot People for the reaffirmation of their sovereign equality and equal international status.
