Calm Returns to Mammari Buffer Zone After Turkish Provocation

Following yesterday's incident involving Turkish military provocations against Greek Cypriot farmers in the Mammari buffer zone, calm has returned to the area today. Farmers did not go to their fields, and the Community Council is in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Police. The Community Council is awaiting instructions from the Ministry regarding where they are permitted to cultivate, as the area they have been using for the past ten years is being disputed by the Turkish side. They are requesting compensation if it is determined that they have been cultivating in the wrong area. They emphasize that they do not want to put anyone at risk. UN vehicles and a helicopter were patrolling the area today.
