President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who attended the TEKNOFEST Award Ceremony held in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), made striking statements.
"FIND US IN FRONT OF YOU"
In his speech, President Erdoğan reacted very harshly to the 'headscarf protests' in the TRNC, stating, "Anyone who tries to interfere with our girls' headscarves in the TRNC will find us in front of them. We have fought hard for this."
In his statement, President Erdoğan used the following expressions:
"The marginal types calling for a boycott of TEKNOFEST, just like in our country, thank God, were disappointed here as well. NGOs need to know how to be an NGO. If you try to interfere with our girls' headscarves in Northern Cyprus, sorry, but you will find us in front of you.
"MARGINAL TYPES WERE DISAPPOINTED"
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus will continue to be a place of tolerance, as it has been for years. The marginal types calling for a boycott of TEKNOFEST, thank God, were disappointed here as well, just like in our country. Just like in Turkey, the more they called for a boycott, the more sales we made. Here too, the more they called for a boycott, the more the squares filled up. You will continue to respond to them with your projects that are part of the successes of the youth."
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
The decision to allow students to wear headscarves in high schools and middle schools in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) was protested in Nicosia.
During the protest demonstrations attended by many unions, civil society organizations, and political parties, slogans such as 'No Passage' and 'Cyprus is secular, it will remain secular' were chanted.
Mehmet Küçük and Serdar Denktaş, children of TRNC leaders Dr. Fazıl Küçük and Rauf Denktaş, also participated in the protests to show their support.
With the new regulation referred to as the 'Headscarf Regulation', changes were made to the regulations determining attire and clothing in high schools and middle schools.
