Turkish drones breach buffer zone during Famagusta anti-occupation event with President Christodoulides present
During an anti-occupation event organized by Famagusta Municipality in Deryneia last Saturday evening, Turkish forces breached the buffer zone by flying unmanned drones from occupied areas close to the event site. President Nikos Christodoulides, the keynote speaker, was present during the incident, which also saw loud Turkish military marches emanating from occupied territories in an apparent effort to disrupt proceedings.
President Christodoulides condemned the provocations, linking them to ongoing developments aimed at resolving the Cyprus problem. He stated that such acts are deliberate attempts by the Turkish side to maintain division and derail the peace process. The president called on the United Nations to investigate and condemn the violation, emphasizing that these actions exacerbate tensions at a delicate political moment.
The incident underscores the continued provocations by the occupying forces and their intentions during a critical phase of negotiations. Nicosia has indicated it will respond firmly through diplomatic channels and expects international intervention to prevent similar future acts.
