The Centre for Turkey Studies will provide a very welcome contribution to this ongoing debate.” Rt Hon Douglas Alexander MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs “There is little doubt that since its establishment, CEFTUS has enabled Londoners to discuss a range of subjects linked to Turkey and the UK via its forums, round tables and panel. I welcome all such conversations as they enable us explore an increasingly important relationship.” Boris Johnson Mayor of London Centre for Turkey Studies 5 I am delighted to present to you, on behalf of the volunteers of the Centre for Turkey Studies (CEFTUS), our 3rd Annual report of activities. The CEFTUS team, over the last three years, worked incredibly hard to engage with institutions and other stakeholders to organise debates, conferences and networking events to build bridges between Turkey and the UK. The CEFTUS, in providing a forum for debating foreign affairs, economic issues and social developments in Turkey and the region, is helping to strengthen the important ties between Turkey and the UK at a governmental, commercial, cultural and educational level. Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities with over 400,000 of their population, are increasingly becoming part of the mainstream society through their social, cultural and economical contributions to the life in the UK. The Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities are highly entrepreneurial in the UK, with thriving businesses that continue to grow and re invest in the UK. Ibrahim Dogus The key challenge to the work of the CEFTUS Founder and Director, has been the issue of raising funds for its projects Centre for Turkey Studies and that still remains to be a challenge. The centre’s work is funded via fundraising dinners and donations from individual members living and working in the UK. I therefore urge you to consider making a donation tonight or in the near future to help us continue our work. A donation can be made online via www.ceftus.org . Finally, I would like to thank you all for your The Kurdish, Turkish and continuous support. Turkish Cypriot communities are highly entrepreneurial in the UK, with thriving Ibrahim Dogus businesses that continue to Founder and Director grow and re invest in the UK. Centre for Turkey Studies (CEFTUS) 6 Centre for Turkey Studies I want to congratulate the Centre for Turkey Studies and Development on your third anniversary. I know that over the last three years, Ibrahim and his team worked incredibly hard to raise the profile of the Centre and strengthen links between Britain and Turkey, through the “Westminster Debates” and “ CEFTUS Insights” events. These events are particularly valuable now, as Turkey shows increasing economic and diplomatic confidence and as we have vibrant Turkish and Kurdish communities here Britain. When Labour was in government we worked to retain good relationships between Britain and Turkey and I am fully committed to continuing to Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP strengthen the bonds between our two nations. I Leader of the Labour Party acknowledge the important work the Centre does in helping to support this. I wish the Centre for Turkey Studies and Development all the best for another successful year and I wish you all an enjoyable evening. These events are particularly valuable now, as Turkey shows increasing economic and diplomatic confidence and as we have vibrant Turkish and Kurdish communities here Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP Britain. Leader of the Labour Party Centre for Turkey Studies 7 I would like to salute the efforts of those responsible for the efforts of the Centre for Turkey Studies. This year marks the third anniversary of this excellent organisation which works to promote opinions and debates focusing on relationships between Turkey and Britain. London is home to a sizeable Turkish heritage community, and Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot Londoners have over the years contributed so much to the capital’s economic, social and cultural success. I welcome the fact that CEFTUS is a forum which explores how we can develop links between the UK (London) and Turkey. Boris Johnson I would like to wish the CEFTUS every success over the coming years.
