I am Cem Kar. I have lived in Northern Cyprus since 1999, when I came from İzmit for university. I began my career as Kanal T’s main news anchor in 2000. Today, as a journalist, writer, documentary director, presenter and communications consultant, I research the stories that interest me, tell them and share them with new generations.
