Erhurman Wishes for Health, Peace and Tranquility for the New Year - Message Without 'TRNC' Symbols (video)

The Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman, released a video message for the New Year, wishing for health, happiness, peace and tranquility. In the video, Erhurman is seen drinking Cypriot coffee, embracing people of all ages, and talking about the dreams of young people and the future of children, emphasizing the need for equality, security and mutual support. He also mentioned the prevailing disappointment and the need to create a country where children will want to live and put down roots. Notably, the video does not feature any symbols of the self-declared 'TRNC', a fact highlighted by the Turkish Cypriot press as a 'message with meaning'. Erhurman called on Turkish Cypriots to leave behind pessimism and work together for a better future, designating 2026 as the 'year of our children'.
