Touching upon the recent earthquakes that devastated Türkiye Parliamentary Speaker Zorlu Töre said that as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus everyone was going through a rough time due to the tragedy that took place in Türkiye and said that the time had come for everyone to make sacrifices.

Upon being asked a question regarding the Greek Cypriot parliament lowering its flags to half mast and holding a minute’s silence, Parliamentary Speaker Töre said that the issue must be looked at humanely not politically.

“Even though I do not compromise on my views and our national cause remains the same, we must look at this issue in a humane perspective. South Cyprus is our only land neighbour. There is mutual assistance. As the Speaker of the Republic’s Assembly I acted with common sense and thanked them. If there is a similar situation, we would show our respect in the same way,” said Töre.
