THE BRITISH Turkish Associations Federation said that the outgoing TRNC London Representative Dilek Yaviz Yanik will be sorely missed when she returns to North Cyprus.

The comments were made at a farewell dinner for the popular TRNC representative, who officially ended her tour of duty at the end of August.

The dinner was held in her honour at Sofra Restaurant in Mayfair and included personnel from the Turkish Embassy.

Sener Saglam from the Federation said Ms Yavuz Yanik was a vibrant force in London and was well liked for her warmth and strong links with the Turkish communities.

He said “She was a very successful diplomat and it was important to us that her tour of duty was extended and we were part of the campaign to try to get her to stay. However our loss is now the TRNC’s gain.”

Ms Yavuz Yanik said she was touched by all the messages of support she had received.

She added that the community should continue to work together, united and support each other and said that she did not believe statistics which seemed to indicate Turkish youth in the UK were not achieving well and involved in crime.

“I trust in our youth and can see that we are achieving amazing things. With the continued support and help of our associations and community groups, they can achieve even more and I wish them every success.”
