I am Nondad Medaksas, I'm the CEO of the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

00:04.760 --> 00:07.220
Inshallah, this is my message.

00:08.000 --> 00:10.000
This is the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy.

00:10.800 --> 00:20.280
And culturally, I don't see any major differences between our people.

00:21.000 --> 00:26.940
And I feel whenever I have visited Istanbul a number of times, Turkey a number of times,

00:26.940 --> 00:30.800
and basically, I feel at home.

00:30.980 --> 00:33.300
I mean, the hospitality was excellent.

00:33.980 --> 00:35.760
And I look forward to visiting again.

00:36.060 --> 00:38.000
It's a pleasure of mine.

00:38.260 --> 00:40.960
That's why I look forward to the area becoming one.

00:41.160 --> 00:44.680
I mean, I look forward in finding the common denominators.

00:45.240 --> 00:50.400
And I believe there are many common denominators between Cyprus and Turkey.

00:51.060 --> 00:52.500
Turkey is a very big country.

00:52.500 --> 00:56.680
It has an amazing history, something which everybody respects.

00:57.320 --> 01:01.280
And I hope that very soon, very soon, sooner than later,

01:02.020 --> 01:05.700
any difference that will separate us will be dissolved.

01:05.900 --> 01:08.140
And I wish to the Turkish people all the best.

01:08.320 --> 01:13.060
And I want to express my most sincere condolences for what happened in Istanbul.

01:13.300 --> 01:14.060
Most sincere.

01:14.120 --> 01:14.960
Thank you very, very much.
