The Forum's Scientific Committee includes nearly 100 scientists...
President of the World Health Tourism Council, TRNC Deputy Dr. Ahmet Savaşan stated that we fulfilled the conditions and entered the council despite Greece's no vote before Southern Cyprus and now they will hold a forum as the term president.
Emphasizing that this council is not a political platform, Savaşan noted that Turkey has also made diplomacy to disrupt the game in this direction.
Speaking at the TV program he attended, Ahmet Savaşan, Chairman of the World Health Tourism Council, said;
“We thought about how to reconcile education management with health tourism... When I was the President of the World Health Tourism Council in 2015, the General Secretariat was in Greece. TRNC became a member of the council when Greece was the Secretary General. Turkey was very supportive in this regard. Greece was very upset about this and wrote many letters, but Turkey said that this is not a political arena, there are conditions, there is a vote. We fulfilled the conditions and Greece voted no before Southern Cyprus in the Tourism Council.
The country chairing the Council is making a forum. It creates a platform... At that time, Greece and Southern Cyprus said yes in the membership vote. Someone took a photo and it was served in Turkey with good intentions and things changed. The opposition in the South put a parliamentary question and so on...
For the first time in history, they could not prevent the TRNC from joining an international organization and there were resignations in the council. Greece now wants to go back as I understand and there is no voice from the south. Now we are the term president and we will have a forum...”
