President Ersin Tatar Commemorates 81st Founding Anniversary of Turkish Cypriot Farmers Union
President Ersin Tatar recently shared a message to mark the 81st Founding Anniversary of the Turkish Cypriot Farmers Union, emphasizing the crucial role of farmers in the community.
In his statement, President Tatar highlighted the strength and resilience of Turkish Cypriot farmers, stating that their hard work and dedication have enabled them to thrive on the island, fostering hope for the future of agriculture and production.
The Turkish Cypriot Farmers Union was established on May 1, 1943, following the departure of Turkish farmers from the union they had previously formed with Greek farmers in 1942. This split was due to disagreements related to the presence of national flags and interpreters, ultimately leading Turkish farmers to create their own union.
President Tatar reflected on the significance of the Turkish Cypriot Farmers Union’s formation, noting that it marked the beginning of an organized struggle for the rights and recognition of Turkish Cypriot farmers. Today, the contributions of these farmers are more important than ever, especially in light of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and disruptions in the agricultural supply chain.
In honoring the 81st anniversary of the union, President Tatar paid tribute to the founding members and leaders who played pivotal roles in its establishment. He expressed gratitude for their dedication and hard work, acknowledging the vital role of farmers in sustaining the economy and public welfare.
As the world continues to navigate uncertain times, President Tatar emphasized the importance of supporting farmers and preserving agricultural lands. The anniversary of the Turkish Cypriot Farmers Union serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of farmers in the face of adversity, and their essential contribution to the well-being of society.
