(MENAFN) The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) slammed the UN Peacekeeping Force on Thursday for blocking the entrance to Taksim Field, which is positioned in the buffer zone on the frontier with the Greek side.
“We do not accept the UN Peacekeeping Force's attitude to prevent physical access to the area in question. Taksim Field, which has great importance in the just struggle of the Turkish Cypriot people, in its history and past, both in terms of sports and culture, has been in use by the Cetinkaya Sports Club since 1930,” the Presidency of the TRNC stated.
Installing barbed wire at the gates, destroying the historical Lefkosa walls and putting block barriers not only violates the status quo but as well triggers deprivation of rights, it added.
“The UN should immediately reverse this mistake, which is understood to have been made by Greek Cypriot pressure, before the crisis escalates,” it also said.
