Young Businessmen Confederation of Turkey (TUGIK) members and OSTIM Technical University Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek visited the TRNC’s domestic and national car GÜNSEL at its home.

Members of the Young Businessmen Confederation of Turkey (TUGIK) visited GÜNSEL as part of their contacts in the TRNC. During the visit accompanied by OSTİM Technical University Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek, GÜNSEL’s first model B9 was tested. After the test drive, TUGIK members visited GÜNSEL’s production facilities on the Near East University Campus and received detailed information about the vehicle’s features and mass production preparations.

After the visit, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Near East Enterprises Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel, TUGIK High Advisory Council President Erhan Özmen and OSTIM Technical University Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek made statements.

Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel: “GÜNSEL is an initiative that takes its inspiration, energy and dynamism from the youth.”
Reminding that GÜNSEL celebrated the 5th anniversary of its first launch on October 9, 2016, Near East University Board of Trustees and GÜNSEL Chairman of the Board of Executives Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel said, “GÜNSEL, of which team has an average age of only 28, is an initiative that takes its inspiration, energy and dynamism from the youth. In this respect, it is a pleasure for us to host the esteemed members of the Young Businessmen Confederation of Turkey.” Stating that they are continuing their mass production studies, Prof. Dr. Günsel said, “I would like to thank the esteemed members of TUGIK, who shared their support and interest with us during this period, for their visit.”

Erhan Özmen: “I witnessed an idealistic family turn the dream of producing the car of the future into reality in a country that has been left so alone by the world.”
Making a statement after his visit to GÜNSEL, Young Businessmen Confederation of Turkey High Advisory Council President Erhan Özmen said that he enjoyed the performance of the TRNC’s domestic car GÜNSEL B9 very much and said: “I witnessed an idealistic family turn the dream of producing the car of the future into reality in a country that has been left so alone by the world.”

Saying that they came to the TRNC for new projects, Özmen said, “The TRNC is breaking its own shell and turning its entrepreneurial spirit into an opportunity. When we look at Singapore today, as a small island country, it competes with the world’s major economies. I’ve been asking myself for two days: Why shouldn’t Northern Cyprus be a Singapore?”

Stating that GÜNSEL will play a very important role in the TRNC economy, Erhan Özmen said, “I congratulate the Near East Family who contributed to this success. The Günsel Family, instead of going to other countries and making their investments under different conditions, stays in their country and writes a great story, despite all the difficulties. I am looking forward to see what this story will bring to Northern Cyprus in the future.”

Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek: “We are proud that the Turkish Cypriots have developed such a marvel of technology.”
Ostim Technical University Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek said, “During our visit to the Near East University today, we met GÜNSEL, the first domestic car of the TRNC. The driving quality of the vehicle is simply perfect and we are proud that the Turkish Cypriots have developed such a technological marvel.”
