Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Nicosia Ali Murat Başceri: “Raising people and young people who design their future in this country is extremely important for the future of the TRNC. Realizing this can only be possible with projects like GÜNSEL and such facilities.”
Emphasizing that Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are two parts of an inseparable whole, Ambassador Ali Murat Başceri said, “As we have said at every opportunity, we are one and the whole. You are also taking steps in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, in an area where there is a technology development race all over the world. On behalf of our nation, I would like to thank you for investing in such an area and putting effort into competing with the GÜNSEL brand in this race.”

“Raising people and young people who design their future in this country is extremely important for the future of the TRNC,” said Ambassador Başçeri, adding, “To realize this can only be possible with projects like GÜNSEL and such facilities.”

Emphasizing the importance of establishing an ecosystem in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus where the university and the industry support each other, Başçeri said, “The steps to be taken in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to strengthen the domestic industry and the real sector, to develop education-industry cooperation in vocational high schools and universities are the establishment of a sustainable ecosystem today and this is of vital importance. It is also very important that you offer job-guaranteed education opportunities to the youth of the country with the project you have implemented at GÜNSEL Academy. These are the issues that we constantly talk about with our friends, we regard all these as the steps to be taken for the future of the TRNC.

Referring to the steps that need to be taken for GÜNSEL to reach its goals, Ambassador Ali Murat Başçeri said, “I hope that the government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus will also do its part in developing the logistics and energy infrastructures that are especially needed. In particular, important steps need to be taken to develop the port infrastructure and to secure energy supply by increasing the energy production capacity. Public institutions need to keep up with the dynamism of the private sector.”
