Stating that unity, solidarity and solidarity will increase without diminishing, Oktay said, “I would like to express once again how happy and blessed we are to see you are with us, and how happy we are as a nation. I would like to,” he said.

“The friends of Turkey are the friends of the TRNC and the friends of the TRNC are our friends. We share the same fate," said Fuat Oktay, and wished this unity and solidarity to continue and increase. Oktay has already congratulated everyone on the Night of Power and Eid al-Fitr.
