APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC AND RELEVANT AUTHORITIES

Let there be no more tragedies. Let no mother, no father weep.

Our country has once again been deeply shaken by the tragic events of recent days.

While the pain of our Champion Angels is still in our hearts, this latest tragedy has reminded us once again of an important truth:

It is the responsibility of all of us to take timely precautions against risks that could threaten human life.

On this occasion, we would like to bring to the attention of the public and the relevant authorities the current situation regarding the Deniz Yıldızı Apartments (Laguna) in Gazimağusa.

The legal process regarding the Deniz Yıldızı Apartments (Laguna) is ongoing. However, official reports prepared by experts regarding the current condition of the buildings have drawn attention to various risks and made important findings regarding the safety of the structures.

These risks have been known for a long time.

The Cyprus Evkaf Administration has made the necessary notifications and announcements regarding the apartments, placed warning signs regarding life and property safety in front of the buildings, and brought the matter to the attention of the relevant authorities.

The work carried out with the Famagusta Municipality on this issue and the statements previously made public are also part of this process.

Following the tragedies we are experiencing today, we see once again how important it is to address pre-identified risks in a timely manner.

Therefore, we call on all relevant authorities to conduct the necessary assessments regarding the Deniz Yıldızı Apartments (Laguna) and to take measures prioritizing life safety as soon as possible.

Our aim is not to blame any institution or individual; it is to contribute to preventing a potential danger before it turns into irreparable suffering.

We believe that no legal or administrative process is more important than human life.

A measure taken today can prevent a great tragedy tomorrow.

We do not want to hear ambulance sirens again.

We do not want to hear the cries of mothers, fathers, and children at the rubble site again.

We do not want to say "If only precautions had been taken sooner" again.

Instead of mourning after tragedies, it is our shared responsibility to take necessary precautions before tragedies occur.

With this understanding, we call upon all authorities, especially the relevant local administrations and institutions, to take the necessary steps regarding the Deniz Yıldızı Apartments (Laguna).

Let there be no more tragedies.

Let no more homes be destroyed.

Let no mother, no father weep.

Let the Deniz Yıldızı Apartments (Laguna) not become the name of a preventable tragedy.

Respectfully announced to the public and relevant authorities.

Cyprus Evkaf Administration
