“In order to overcome the economic bottleneck, we will do better in tourism and higher education, which we know and have achieved. We will get out of the bottleneck with the revenues we will generate from tourism and higher education during and after the pandemic.”
“The problem is not indexed to the currency. The problem is to revive the country's economy with permanent and sustainable policies. There are those who believe that the economy will improve by switching to the Euro and try to make the public believe this. This is just a dream”
Making evaluations in the television program he attended, National Unity Party Nicosia Deputy candidate Dr. Ahmet Savaşan said, “We are not trying to sell dreams about the correction of the economy. The UBP is committed to doing more of what they have achieved so far,” he said.
Ahmet Savaşan emphasized that the UBP will eliminate the damage caused by the pandemic on the country's economy by adding new ones to the achievements it has achieved so far both in tourism and higher education.
“We are not chasing dreams. We are saying that we can do more than what we have achieved so far and we are sure of it.” Savaşan said that they will work to raise the bar even higher in tourism and higher education, and simultaneously, they will revitalize the economy with new and encouraging policies in informatics and smart agricultural practices, and the TRNC will be made self-sufficient.
“Our gains in tourism and higher education are obvious”
“Our gains in tourism and higher education, where we have achieved tangible success, are obvious,” said Ahmet Savaşan, explaining that especially in the economic contraction caused by the pandemic, it has become clear how important these sectors are and that they need to be supported with further development projects.
Ahmet Savaşan, who also touched on the discussions that the problem of the country's economy is the currency used, criticized the Republican Turkish Party and said, “They are trying to show that the problem in the economy is due to the use of Turkish Lira. The CTP believes that the economy will improve by switching to the Euro and is trying to make the public believe this. The problem is not in the currency. The problem is to revitalize the country's economy with permanent and sustainable policies.”.
“Those who said we should switch to the Euro mocked tourism and higher education...”
Ahmet Savaşan reminded that years ago, when the UBP leaders shared with the society the targets they had set in both higher education and tourism, the representatives of the parties advocating the transition to the Euro made fun of the issue and said, “We have closed our foreign trade deficit with the targets we have set in higher education and tourism until today. We say that we will increase the added value by developing these sectors with the policies we pursue and that we will spread the revenues obtained throughout the country.”.
