Chamber of Industry Condemns Oktay Saral’s Statement – BRTK
The Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry (KTSO) has recently condemned Oktay Saral, the Chief Advisor of the President of the Republic of Turkey, for making “ugly and unnecessary” statements against Prime Minister Ünal Üsel.
In a written statement, the KTSO highlighted the need for focusing on important global developments and addressing serious issues within the country. The Chamber emphasized the importance of developing new policies, finding solutions to problems, and putting forth a vision for the country’s agenda. However, the recent debate surrounding the issue of “middle education” has led to insults and humiliation, with Oktay Saral’s remarks exceeding the limits of respect.
The KTSO stressed that the strong bonds between Turkey and the TRNC should not be jeopardized by such statements, and called for an end to divisive rhetoric. The Chamber also urged both sides to refrain from insults and focus on finding solutions to pressing issues.
Additionally, the statement addressed the need for political parties to refrain from exploiting the situation for political gain and emphasized the importance of upholding secular principles. The KTSO called for a common-sense approach, urging individuals to avoid hostility and division in favor of unity and cooperation.
Ultimately, the KTSO’s message is clear: it is essential to work together to address challenges, uphold respect, and prioritize the well-being of society over political ambitions.
