The regions of the North began to be equalized, which almost never happens, all the same different number of the population lives. Also, the South and Turkey will never equal, because 90 million is much more than one.
2. Neither give nor take good news and in Europe you can grow bananas turns out and this place is Northern Cyprus. Banana production between Yeshilyurt and Yeshivirmak quadrupled compared to the previous year. Thanks to the work carried out in the domestic production of bananas between Yeshilyurt and Yeshivirmak, production has more than quadrupled compared to the previous year. Domestic banana producers stressed that their banana production, which last year was 100 tons, this year increased to 450 tons. Producers said that the annual production of bananas in Northern Cyprus is about 5 thousand tons. Speaking in Cyprus on the subject, banana producer Salahi Atalar said banana production had increased compared to the previous year and said their goal was to produce 1500 tonnes within two years. Noting that manufacturers produce products without the use of any medicines, Atalar said that local bananas are of great interest because of the delicious taste of local bananas. Atalar demanded that the “funds” be placed on bananas coming from abroad, both in Turkey and in European countries.
3. Yesterday I was at the market in Girne, the car had to be left a kilometer from the market, but there were almost more buyers selling. At the market in Yenyrenköy, the prices of vegetables and fruits were astounding. Citizens complained about high prices, and traders in the market – about low sales. Prices for vegetables and fruits in our country are insane. Markets that are more popular with citizens because of their cheapness are no different from the markets today. As in other regions, everything was expensive in the market square in Yerenköy. Citizens complained about high prices, and traders in the market – about low sales. In the market, tomatoes were sold at 15 Turkish liras per kilogram. Kolokas 15 lire, onion 6 lire, cucumber 4 lire, greens 2.5-4 lire, fruits 17-20 lire were waiting for buyers. Citizens who came to the market for shopping, said that everything is very expensive, and drew attention to the fact that it is no different from the markets. Explaining that they had to buy products that they had bought for kilograms in the past, they were forced to buy them for grain because of the price, and asked the authorities to reduce the cost of the market. Traders in the market also complained that they were stranded, saying that the purchasing power of citizens had declined and the number of people coming to market had decreased due to the high cost of living.
4. The Majlis can’t get together and why, because there is no quorum. But today promises to collect blood from the nose. And what and how in the Majlis read. The General Assembly of the Assembly of the Republic meets today with an agenda for verification. Tomorrow’s meeting will include current speeches and questions of deputies. The General Assembly of the Assembly, which opened the new legislative year with a solemn meeting on 1 October, was unable to hold its first meeting on Monday due to a quorum problem. As the Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic, Onder Sennaroglu, was deputy president of Ersin Tatar, who was abroad, last Monday the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Armagan Kandan, served as Deputy Speaker of the Assembly until the President’s return. For this reason, Kandan had the right to preside over a meeting of the General Assembly. Deputy Speaker armagan Chandan, in accordance with the decision taken by the parliamentary group of the Turkish Republican Party (CTP), did not enter the parliament together with the CTP deputies and ordered the oldest member to open the meeting, but this also did not happen.
5. Again a positive employee and again not for business qualities, but for covid and again inconvenience due to closure. The Population Registration Office will be closed for a week. The Department of Population Registration of the Ministry of internal Affairs announced that the department for applications for identity cards will be closed for a week after a positive result of the PCR test of employees. In a statement from the department, “As a result of standard PCR screening conducted at our Department of Population Registration of the Ministry of the Interior as part of the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic, one of our staff tested positive. For this reason, in line with measures to combat Covid-19 that do not pose a health risk, the Office of Public Registration’s ID Applications Department has suspended its work for a week from October 6, 2021. During the period when the Department of Applications for Identity Cards of the Office of Population Registration will be closed, citizens can apply for an identity card at the county governorate or subdisitues closest to the regions of their residence.

The usual environment of Northern Cyprus with its positive aspects and disadvantages. Annoying covid, which complicates life, the restrictions that people burden themselves with. And if they didn’t, they would have died happy maybe not even from covid.
