'It is neither legal nor humane to prevent Turkish Cypriots living in Pile village from reaching their homeland,' Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
"It is neither legal nor humane to prevent Turkish Cypriots living in Pile village from reaching their homeland," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says."What is expected from the UN is to contribute to resolving the humanitarian needs of all parties on the Island by truly representing its name, instead of demonstrating destabilizing behavior," Turkish President Erdogan says.
"The physical intervention of UN peacekeeping force soldiers on the territory that falls under the sovereignty of the TRNC is never acceptable to us," Erdogan said after the Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara. The road expansion is strategically important for residents as it will give them more options to reach Pile, where Turks and Greek Cypriots live together.Residents of Pile will be able to travel shorter distances and will not have to pass through British bases when crossing to the Turkish side as a result of the 11.6 kilometers construction and repair work.
"It is neither legal nor humane to prevent Turkish Cypriots living in Pile village from reaching their homeland," Erdogan said.
