Special session of the plenary of the House of Representatives
Tuesday, 28 February 2023
Dear colleagues, dear colleagues,
The sad account of the deadly earthquake strike of 6 February 2023 in our neighbouring Turkey and Syria, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 40,000 of our fellow human beings, includes forty-nine Turkish Cypriot compatriots. The victims of the Turkish Cypriot sports expedition, young schoolchildren and their chaperones, totalled thirty-five, while another fourteen Turkish Cypriots, who were in other cities in Turkey, died in the rubble.
On behalf of all members of the Corps, I express our deep sorrow at the untimely loss of our compatriots and extend our sincere condolences to all members of the Turkish Cypriot community.
