12 Roma Association Will Found a Federation 27/05/2010

A total number of 12 associations including Eskişehir, Düzce, Adapazarı, İzmit, Pamukova, Altınova, Bursa and its towns have announced that they will found a federation.

The heads of the associations who state that they represent 250 thousand people in total declared that the solutions to the problems of the Roman society can only be found by combining the power of the associations. The associations which state that the biggest problems are unemployment and illiteracy said that the unemployment rate in some regions reaches up to 95%. The heads of the associations who believe that the most of the problems will be solved by settling the unemployment issue also reported that they are producing projects to identify and solve the problems. However, expressing that the authorities don’t take much interest in the projects, the heads stated that that’s why they will increase their power by founding a federation.

Association authorities who spoke in the meeting shared their ideas about Romans’ being employed in areas such as Music, Construction, Agriculture, and Stock-breeding. Orçun Zolun, the head of Bursa Roman Culture Research, Improvement, Aid, and Solidarity Association, who gave the final speech emphasized that they are ready to work with all the NGO’s and Social Institutions for solving the problems of the Romans who are not able to work in local administrations and for their employment. Zolun also stated that they will do their best for the federation to function the most efficiently.

Fehmi Acar, the head of Kocaeli Roman Culture Research and Solidarity, who spoke to Cingeneyiz.org, said that they take the model of EU’s Presidency as an example for their association structure. According to this, every year the head of a different association is to be the federation president. Acar said that they believe that a more democratic regulation can be achieved in the federation this way. Fehmi Acar’s proposal, supported by the heads of the other associations, is believed to play an important role in structuring the federation.

We as Cingeneyiz.org wish success to the Federation of Marmara Roma Associations.
