TRNC President Ersin Tatar stated that his visit to the Anthropological Laboratory of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) with the Leader of Greek Cypriot Administration Nikos Christodoulidis was a purely humanitarian issue and that it was not right to create a perception that it paved the way for negotiations. President Tatar made an evaluation regarding the continuation of the negotiations and said that they have no intention of continuing the negotiations as left in Crans Montana.    The President noted that there is no change in the Turkish Cypriots’ political situation and added that if the sovereign equality and equal international status of the Turkish Cypriots are confirmed, a negotiation process can resume.  President Ersin Tatar attended the BRT live broadcast and answered questions regarding his joint visit to the Anthropological Laboratory of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) with Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulidis.  Source: TRNC Public Information Offic...

On 28th of July, 2023 President Ersin Tatar and the Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Christodoulides have paid a joint visit to the anthropological laboratory of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) where they were briefed about the ongoing work of the Committee. Both leaders called upon persons who have information about possible burial sites to share this information with the CMP, and reminded witnesses that they can request confidentiality for any information shared, as credible information can accelerate the whole process of location, exhumation, and identification of the remains of missing persons. They also reaffirmed their conviction that the CMP conducts purely humanitarian work, emphasized the importance of insulating the CMP from political considerations, and called upon all concerned not to politicize this crucial work. Tatar was accompanied by his Special Representative Ergün Olgun, while Greek Cypriot leader Christodoulidis was accompanied by his Government Spokesperson Kostan...

Winds of Rotary Concert – A Turgay Hilmi Production at the Girne Amphitheatre on 30 July 2023....  By Heidi Trautmann…. It was a Cultural Cooperation of the cities of Girne and Georgensgmünd/Roth/Germany…. and many musicians came to Girne and shared the stage of our Amphitheatre with Cypriot musicians and Vox Africa for a musical mega event. Ayten Kiani-Benoit, President 2022-2023 of the Rotary Club of Kyrenia Cosmopolitan, Host of the concert, cites Plato: “Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything”. It was a most impressive visual and audible impact on the audience in the round of the theatre, even an Alsatian entered the stage to see what it was all about. I have added the programme which shows that we were given a medley of different music genres merging seamlessly, from opera to musical, a visit to the Alps with alpine horn and cowbells and also a visit to the Wild West to my Facebook page. After the official ceremo...

By Richard Beale…. Serdarlı was hit by a quick 1-2 as Kozanköy stormed into a two-goal first half lead in this 1st leg semi encounter played at a packed Üç Şehitler Stadium. Serdarlı pulled their socks up after the break and gave themselves a lifeline by pulling a goal back, so it’s all to play for in the second leg next weekend. Results: SERDARLI GB 1 ATOLL KOZANKÖY SK 2 Sunday July 30 : Iktisatbank BTM League 2, Semi Final Play Off, 1st Leg. Görneç Üç Şehitler Stadium. Weather: Very hot. This season we have been following the fortunes of Group 8 teams, we have lost Tatlısu, Alanıçı, and Bahçeli, Serdarli are our last hopes of glory, though they go into the second leg behind but they still have a fighting chance. The little stadium on the mountainside in Görneç was packed, I estimated a crowd of around 400. The atmosphere was noisy, electric, full of colour with flags and banners. Drums, drums, and more drums (let there be drums !). The weather was boiling as well, norma...

Readers mail …. From Ralph Kratzer (TFR The Foreign Residents in the TRNC). Hello Readers, With joy but also with a bit of envy I saw the report and the pictures of our Events Manager Pamela Tschersich regarding the recent TFR boat trip on the occasion of the aerobatic show on Peace and Freedom Day 2023. This year Sarah and I couldn´t attend due to personal and health reasons, but I am sure the TFR members on the boat have enjoyed the event, even without me... LOL!

By Heidi Trautmann…. ACPA/KKSD - Association of Cyprus Paper Artists Workshop for Cyanotype Printing in July 2023 Our association has continued to hold workshops to widen the knowledge and application of paper in the widest sense. For the recent workshop, our member Sofia Hadjipapa was suggesting to introduce to the members of our association the Cyanotype Printing Technique and demonstrate the various possibilities. She distributed a list of what utensils to bring with us. The list is available on our messenger site. So, on 17 July 2023, we met at Fatma Özok’s Clay Art Studio in Nicosia and Sofia gave us an introduction to the background of this technique which we learned is nearly 180 years old and was developed by Sir John Hershel. The first photo book, she explained was realized by a distant relative of his, Anna Atkins. I did some research on the internet and found some interesting links: https://www.gathered.how/art.../guide-to-cyanotype-printing/ https://www.nhm.ac.uk/...

Commemorating Peace and Freedom Day: President Ersin Tatar addresses the main parade in Lefkoşa saying: “No formal negotiations until our sovereign equality and equal international status is reaffirmed” “The period of conducting negotiations for the sake of negotiations, whilst attempting to crush Turkish Cypriots under isolation that is tantamount to persecution, has come to pass” President Ersin Tatar led celebrations marking the 49th anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation, undertaken by Türkiye on July 20, 1974, which brought real peace to the island and freedom to the Turkish Cypriot People, who endured years of island-wide attacks by Greek-Greek Cypriot forces as part of their aspiration to unite Cyprus with Greece. The parade, which was held at the Dr. Fazıl Küçük Boulevard in Lefkoşa following the inauguration of the new terminal building and runway of Ercan Airport, was also attended by President of the Republic of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and other high level off...

A ceremony was held at Dr. Fazıl Küçük Boulevard in Lefkoşa on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of 20th July Peace and Freedom Day.   Speaking at the ceremony, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed his happiness to be in the TRNC on the 49th anniversary of the Peace Operation and paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for independence and future. Stressing the importance of the younger generations growing up with a strong sense of history, he reminded that between 1963 and 1974, supporters of ENOSIS caused unrest and disrupted peace on the island, inflicting suffering on the Turkish Cypriots. “We have witnessed terrible massacres on these beautiful lands,” Erdoğan said and highlighted that all kinds of oppression were committed, but the Turkish nation never bowed to tyrants. “The Turkish Cypriots, whom they wanted to annihilate, are now living under their own flag, with confidence and hope,” he added. Stressing that on the day when the Turkish soldiers ...

The inauguration ceremony of New Terminal and Runway of Ercan Airport was held with the participation of President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, TRNC President Ersin Tatar, Speaker of the TRNC Assembly Zorlu Töre, Prime Minister Ünal Üstel, ministers and other officials yesterday (20th July).    President Tatar and President Erdoğan delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.  In his speech, President Tatar called on the international community to put an end to the injustices against Turkish Cypriots regarding the freedom of travel.    In his speech, President Erdoğan also emphasized the embargoes imposed by the international community against the Turkish Cypriots.  Source:  TRNC Public Information Office  https://cyprusscene.com/2023/07/22/new-terminal-and-runway-of-ercan-airport-inaugurated/

The British Residents' Society is probably the oldest NGO in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and through the years they have helped British ex-pats living or visiting the TRNC taking on the role of government liaison so that their members would have the latest helpful information wherever possible. The TRNC is an unrecognized country except by Turkey and for people living here under unfair embargoes for many years the BRS after consulting their members started a UK Government Lobbying Campaign requesting an end to the injustice, racism, and inequality suffered by ALL residents of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus by the UK Government.  The BRS continues to grow and we are sharing below their recent newsletter asking members for help that perhaps non-BRS members may be interested to join and assist the society.

By Richard Beale…. A match that had great expectations turned out to be a bit of a disappointment as Serdarlı overpowered their rivals with a ruthless first-half display to book their place in the quarter-finals. Results: SERDARLI GB 4 ALANİÇİ YSK O Sunday July 16 : Iktisatbank BTM League 2, Group 8 : Görneç Üç Şehitler Stadium. Weather: Very hot but with a cooling breeze. On paper, this was the game to be at, both teams in with a chance of a quarter-final place, both teams with noisy, vociferous support a hot evening these were the ingredients to be an explosive match. The pre-match atmosphere was electric, Serdarlı being just down the road from Görneç had twice the amount of support than Alaniçi. Serdarlı supporters in the main stand had their drums, and flares while Alaniçi supporters in the open-air stand had their banners, drums and bloody vuvuzela’s! Alaniçi supporters were silenced after only 2 minutes when Serdarlı scored, they were quiet when the second goal went...

President Ersin Tatar has sent a letter to the Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Christodoulides reiterating his readiness to visit the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) anthropological laboratory and to issue a joint statement expressing full support to the humanitarian activities of the CMP. The letter to Mr. Christodoulides, dated July 18, 2023, stated that President Tatar had put forward the proposal for a joint visit to the CMP anthropological laboratory during his first informal meeting with Mr. Christodoulides following his election, that was hosted by the Head of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus at his official residence.  President Tatar, in response to the recent letter of Mr. Christodoulides, wrote that “I am convinced that our joint visit will contribute to the ongoing effective work of CMP and the support we lend together on its exclusively humanitarian work will definitely encourage, especially those witnesses who have credible information on burial sites, to come forth ...

Turkish Cypriot member of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) Hakkı Müftüzade requested that the excavation of the Atlılar Mass Grave, which was decided by the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) to be carried out in May, should start without further delay.  Müftüzade said that following the decision taken after the evaluation of all the factors taken into consideration by the CMC regarding the excavations, the work was postponed with a notification made by the Greek Cypriot Member two days before the start of the excavation.    Pointing out that this situation has led to the reaction of the families who have been waiting for nearly 50 years to bury their missing relatives, Müftüzade reminded that TRNC President Ersin Tatar drew attention to this postponement, which was clearly not based on any legitimate grounds, and called for the implementation of the decision taken by the CMP.  Source: TRNC Public Information Office https://cyprusscene.com/2023/07/18/muftuzade-the...

Hello, my friends my name is Chris Elliott looking at the events in Russia and the Ukraine, and at times it’s hard to accept the news being broadcasted and clearly, there are a  lot of lies and misinformation being circulated to gain advantages.   This is not uncommon in politics and we only have to look at the history of the Cyprus Issue to see Greece and Greek Cypriots breaking the Cyprus Agreement and forcing the Turkish Cypriots from the then, Cyprus Government and pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing which has been so well documented. Now Great Britain as the former administrator of the island and one of the guarantors of the Cyprus Agreement quietly sat on their hands and watched things worsen over the years.  The UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus established in 1964 to prevent further fighting between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities and bring about a return to normal conditions has achieved very little other than to continue with an insistence that a settl...

Statement by the Presidency of the TRNC on the UN Security Council Following the briefing of the UN Security Council by Colin Stewart, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cyprus, on the two reports of the UN Secretary-General on his mission of good offices and UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), the TRNC Presidency has issued a statement in reaction to the Security Council Press Statement dated July 12, 2023.

By Chris Elliott…. The journey of Cyprus Scene spreads over 11 years and was created because we watched with frustration as local news media newspapers and magazines came and then disappeared and I guess it’s because it was too much like hard work and cost people money. I have been funding the various CyprusScene media operations like a website, online e-newspaper, podcasts, etc from my shrinking pensions, and with my production costs rising I decided to reach out to our followers and ask for their help. When publishing articles through our various media channels, we now ask readers if they like what we are doing to promote news and reviews from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to consider making a small donation to our “Buy Me A Coffee” account which will help support our continued publishing costs.
