ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
 
In conducting this research has been a challenging task that one cannot do 
alone without assistance from others. A number of people have contributed 
in diverse ways in accomplishing the task of writing this thesis. To them all I 
say thank you. My sincere gratitude should first be directed to my supervisor 
Asst. Prof. Dr Ahmed Samour of the Near East University in Cyprus and my 
Course Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aliya I
ŞIKSAL for devoting a lot of their time 
to offer counseling, scholarly criticism, encouragement, comments and 
reading drafts from initial stage up to this final version. I wish to express my 
special thanks to Mr. Abassie Elias Thomas for sponsorship which has 
enabled me to successfully complete my post-graduate studies at the Near 
East University. Cyprus. 
NATCOM (especially, member of staff from the Directorate of Supervision 
and Controls), are highly acknowledged for providing me with all necessary 
data and relevant documents. 
I cannot forget conveying my sincere and overwhelming gratitude to my 
beloved wife Olivia for her remarkable endurance and lovely advises. My 
daughters, Alvia and Esme, My Sisters Maweni and Fattie, my Sister in law 
Dorothea Fynch-Myer. I also owe them special thanks for their prayers, 
patience, tolerance, inspiration and moral support which enabled me to 
complete this work smoothly. 
Above all, I thank God for his Grace and Mercies, without Him this study 
would not have been done.
I remain solely responsible and accountable for any shortfalls in this thesis.
