VIDEO: New Provocation in Avlona. "Turkish Farmers Within the Dead Zone"

A new provocation is taking place in Avlona, as Turkish Cypriot farmers have entered the dead zone and begun cultivating land belonging to Greek Cypriots. Community leader Menelaos Savva reports that this phenomenon is daily and that the United Nations members, although informed, cannot intervene. According to the community leader, the Turkish Cypriot farmers were verbally threatening Greek Cypriots. The area is guarded by members of the United Nations, while patrols from the occupying army occasionally pass through. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also been informed, but no substantial action has been taken so far.
