Lefkosa Witnesses Border Area Attack
Erhurman also called on the United Nations and the leadership of the Greek Cypriot Administration to “urgently launch an investigation into the incident.”
In his statement, Erhurman noted that at approximately 13:30 pm (1030 GMT), individuals gathered on the Greek Cypriot Administration side threw stones and explosive materials at TRNC citizens in Yigitler Bastion.
“This attack took place in an area that bears responsibility both for the Greek Cypriot leadership and for the UN Peacekeeping Force, as it is in the nature of a buffer zone and also used as a route by the UN Peacekeeping Force. Contact has been established with the UN Peacekeeping Force and our counterparts in the south regarding this incident. On a day like April 1, when such incidents could be anticipated by everyone, it is unacceptable that no precautions were taken in such an area,” Erhurman said.
He emphasized that they strongly condemn the attack.
“We will follow up to ensure that the authorized bodies of the Greek Cypriot leadership urgently initiate the necessary judicial investigation and that those who carried out this attack are subjected to the required legal proceedings,” he added.
On the side of Lefkosa controlled by the Greek Cypriot Administration, groups gathered on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the founding of the militant organization EOKA.
