On September 11, 2025, the Minister of Finance of Northern Cyprus, Dr. Özdemir Berova, received a Turkcell delegation to discuss the development of telecommunications and the transition to 5G. The meeting took place in the minister’s office; the delegation included representatives from the group and the local branch, including Ali Taha Koç, Murat Küçüközdemir, Emrah Doğan, Tolga Kılıç, and Muhammed Fehim Paluluoğlu.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the current state of the sector, plans for 5G implementation, and related technological investments. According to Dr. Berova, the development of telecommunications and investments in digital infrastructure are important for the country’s economy and can improve the quality of life for the population.

For residents and businesses of Northern Cyprus, this could mean faster mobile internet connections and expanded digital services, but also possible infrastructure work and the need to upgrade equipment for operators and subscribers. As the minister noted, further steps depend on operator investments and approvals from government bodies; official announcements regarding timelines and coverage areas are expected from Turkcell and relevant authorities.

The recommendation for subscribers is to follow announcements from Turkcell and the ministry regarding deployment schedules, tariff changes, and 5G availability in your area.
