A new Children's Park has opened in Northern Cyprus.
Last weekend, a new children's park opened in Northern Cyprus. It is dedicated to the memory of the "Angels of Champions".
The opening of the "Aras Aktugrali Angel Team" children's park in Geçitkale was attended by the President of the TRNC, Ersin Tatar. The park is named in honor of one of the members of the volleyball team who died during the earthquake in Turkey on February 6, 2023.
During the opening ceremony, which was held in a park renovated by the Geçitkale - Serdarli Municipality, the President of Northern Cyprus expressed hope that the case of the collapse of the Isias hotel, in which a youth volleyball team from the TRNC died, would end with a fair court decision.
The President thanked the mayor of Serdarli - Geçitkale, Halil Kasım, and his team for their efforts in creating the children's park.
"Turkish Cypriots carry in their hearts the pain known as the catastrophe of the century. We will always keep the memory of the Angels of Champions in our hearts. I once again wish God's mercy to those who lost their lives during the earthquake, patience to their families, and condolences to the Turkish nation," said Ersin Tatar.
Let us remind you that the "Angels of Champions" refers to the members of the youth volleyball team from Famagusta, who died in the earthquake in Turkey on February 6. The bodies of 35 people were recovered from the rubble.
The first hearing regarding the Grand Isias hotel case took place at the Adıyaman High Criminal Court in January. Following sessions that lasted for several days, the court issued several temporary decisions.
The lawyers of the Angels of Champions' families objected to the decisions made. The second hearing was held on Friday, April 26. The third hearing was on June 12, the fourth on October 21, and the fifth on December 3. The sixth court hearing will take place on December 24.
