| NMP is producing a new charity calendar to raise awareness of testicular cancer in Northern Cyprus |
| 2008-07-29 |
Naomi Mehmet & Partners has joined forces with the Cyprus Pumas Rugby Club to produce a new charity calendar to raise awareness of testicular cancer in Northern Cyprus. After Av. Naomi Mehmet's husband, Hakan Temizyurek, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in early 2008, Naomi and Hakan realised that there is very little information available in Northern Cyprus about testicular cancer and decided to take action to raise awareness. Inspired by the film ‘Calendar Girls’, Naomi and Hakan decided to produce a calendar, with rugby as its central them, to reach out to the local community and to provide them with information about this disease. Rugby was chosen because it is a sport which is popular amongst young men between the ages of 18-35, which is the age group which is, statistically, most likely to be affected by testicular cancer. It also serves to highlight the fact that being fit and sporty doesn’t prevent you from getting testicular cancer. It can affect all people from all walks of life.
Naomi and Hakan asked the players to bear all for the photographs to help men to realise that testicular cancer is not a subject to be embarrassed or ashamed about. They also hope that the calendar will appeal to women. Statistically, very few men check their testicles on a regular basis so it is important that wives, girlfriends and partners are also aware of the symptoms of testicular cancer and encourage their partners to check themselves. All profits from this calendar will be donated to the Help Those with Caner Association.
Hakan was only 28 years old when he was diagnosed and had always been fit and active, attending the gym every day and playing football once a week. We did not have any symptoms and the cancer was picked up by chance during a routine medical examination. After having surgey to remove the testicle, he is now on the road to recovery and is pleased to be doing something positive to help others affected by this disease.

Naomi Mehmet & Partners held a summer party on the roof terrace of the recently completed Malpas Hotel in Catalkoy on 4th August 2007 to celebrate the second anniversay of the formation of Naomi Mehmet & Partners and to celebrate the marriage of the founder of Naomi Mehmet & Partners, Advocate Naomi Mehmet LL.B. to Mr. Hakan Temizyurek. Naomi's wedding was held on 9th June 2007 at the Kybele in Bellapais and the reception was at The Colony Hotel in Kyrenia. The wedding was a small wedding with only family and close friends attending. However, Naomi also wanted to celebrate her marriage with her business colleagues so it was decided that a joint party to combine this with the second anniversary of the firm should be held. The evening was a huge success with over 100 guests.
