Commemorating the foundation of the Centre for Turkey Studies (CEFTUS) in 2011, CEFTUS presented the Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot Community Achievement Awards at its Anniversary Gala last year for the fifth time in the presence of British and Turkish politicians from various parties including Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn as well as foreign dignitaries, community and business leaders.
CEFTUS has continued to recognise and celebrate the outstanding work of Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot women, men, companies and organisations in the UK in several fields. Our winners were awarded for their great work in various business sectors such as financial services, law, wholesale, production employment and restaurants, as well as in other areas such as journalism, education and political activity.

Among these exemplary winners were Cllr Mete Coban who was awarded a Politics and Education Award for his work in youth political engagement through his organisation My Life My Say as was Dr Tunc Aybak for his numerous academic achievements. Cllr Makbule Gunes and Akif Rizgar Wan were awarded with Female and Male Role Model awards respectively.
Gulen Coban of Mez-Opotamia Restaurant was awarded Successful Businesswoman and Tony Manconi, Efe Cakarel and Ali Sancak received awards as Successful Businessmen. Muhammet Cankiran and Sinan Fidanci of Oakfield Solicitors were also awarded in the Law category and Ali Matur of Holland Bazaar, Kemal Gondas of United Paper Products and Deniz Suyur of Esin Cash and Carry won Wholesalers/Production/Best Employer awards. Many other awards were handed out as a part of this celebration.
