Elected to the council last year in Bruce Grove ward, Cllr Dilek Dogus whose family is originally from Maras in Turkey has been appointed the first deputy mayor of Kurdish background in Haringey's history. Having lived in Haringey for 16 years, having worked for the local NHS mental health trust, Cllr Dogus was elected as a Labour Party Councillor to Bruce Grove Ward last year. Cllr Dogus said: "I'm delighted to have the chance to be deputy Mayor, and to serve the whole community in such a diverse borough. Delighted to have been appointed to the post, Cllr Dogus told Toplum Postasi: “It’s a very good thing for the Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities.” Asked what she would bring to the communities, Cllr Dogus said: “ One of my aims is to raise the profile of our communities and to provide a role model for young Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot people that you can get involved in politics. “For me its about showing people that we live here, we are going to live here for a long time and getting involved in politics will issues like integration easier to achieve.” Emphasizing the importance of the involvement into politics of Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot people, Cllr Dogus said: People who work for councils cannot provide services for our communities do not have knowledge of our communities to provide that service. We need to show that we exist,” she added. |
