The Astrophysics and Space Sciences Research Center which was to be established, in TRNC for the first time, over the protocol signed amongst GAU and Kazakhstan Astrophysics Institute was attempted to be undermined.

The Greek Cypriots added one other new political attack against TRNC universities after the political cooperation set by the trio of Russia-Kazakhstan-Greek Cyprus Part of South Cyprus.

GAU Science committee has faced with unfriendly attempt of Greek Cypriots while visited Kazakhstan for the establishment of the Astrophysics and Space Sciences Research Center in TRNC.

The pressures and unfriendly attempts were officially remonstrated by GAU Chancellor’s Office Founding Rector and Chancellor of Board of Administrators Serhat Akpınar.

It has been emphasized that GAU science family will overcome the pressures and preventions via its sound will and belief on scientific production. It has also been underlined that recently there had been pressures against foreign students which this incident had reflected to public perception and yet the unfriendly policies against TRNC universities had been emphasized. GAU will continue to show willingness towards significant scientific production projects to be cooperated with international education institutions.

It has further been stated in the explanation that GAU will participate in full faith to keep the idea of “global power of the science will never surrender against politics” as vivid. The prevention attempts towards Northern Cyprus universities and establishments are significant messages which need to be taken into consideration by the State. Further details on the incident will be set public in near future.
