Games, exhibitions and concerts related to the operation are held to the public. Most Northern Cyprus citizens hang the Turkish flag and the flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in their homes to celebrate. Also, high-level politicians and soldiers from Turkey participate in the ceremonies. The President of Northern Cyprus and the Speaker of the Northern Cyprus Parliament are present at the ceremonies as well.
