The "mayor" of occupied Kyrenia, Nidai Gungiordiou, said that in the "population census" conducted in 2011, the population of the city was 33,200. However, he noted the population now stands at 75,000.
According to the GMP, Gyungortu made these statements in reference to the amount the "municipality" must receive from the "government" as a grant.
Meanwhile, T/C reports today say that a joint project proposed by the "municipality" of Kyrenia and the municipality of Kusadasi for the beach of occupied St. George of Kyrenia has been approved by the Union of Turkish Municipalities as part of 8 "donation projects" to be carried out in the occupied territories.
The project includes the redevelopment of the surrounding area and the creation of volleyball courts and games for young people. The project will be divided into several phases and will begin in the coming days.
Nidai Gyungiordiu said that they are daily advancing their cooperation with municipalities in Turkey and building joint projects, noting that it will greatly help the city and its "people" to cooperate with the Union of Municipalities of Turkey and other municipalities in Turkey.
Moreover, the "town hall" of occupied Akanthiu signed a "protocol of cooperation and twinning" with the town hall of Karatai province located in Ikonio, Turkey.
The "protocol" was signed between Akanthiu "mayor" Hairi Orjian and Karantai mayor Hassan Kiljia and provides for the joint exchange of information and views on the implementation of various projects, as well as social and cultural cooperation between the two "mayors".
In his remarks at the ceremony, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar congratulated the two "mayors" on the "signing of the protocol", stressing that it will strengthen the "brotherly ties" between the two "mayors", as well as the "national relations" between Turkey and the pseudo-state.
