Conversations on: diaspora Cypriot identity - Niyazi Enver (TCCA) - Cypriot Wine Festival
Description
Thank you so much to the Cypriot Wine Festival and Business Expo for having us!
It was an honour to be joined by Niyazi, chair of the Turkish Cypriot Community Association (TCCA). Niayzi and I discuss the importance of cultural preservation against a backdrop of assimilation, why young Cypriots need to work with the older generations to maintain their Cypriot power and his belief that Cypriots are ready for a free, united island. Niyazi also shares his experiences growing up in Cyprus during the island's conflict and ultimate partition, and why we should never lose hope for a peaceful future.
The TCCA was created in 1976 and is the largest Turkish-speaking charity in the UK. To accommodate the growing number of Turkish Cypriot migrants to the UK, the TCCA was established to provide culturally, linguistically, and religiously sensitive services to Turkish Cypriot community. It offers a number of projects to provide opportunities and a better quality of life for the community. Find out more about the TCCA here .
