Turkey's Ambassador to Nicosia, Metin Feyzioglu, stated that everyone knows how important it is for the legislative, executive, and judicial powers to be separated for the sake of democracy. He mentioned that currently, the TRNC is ahead of many countries in the world in terms of democracy standards.

The Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, Zorlu Tere, announced that the Republic's Assembly had various shortcomings, but they couldn't address them due to budget constraints.

"I hope we will move to the new parliament building in 2024," concluded Zorlu Tere.
