The tension at the barricades is increasing, after the Republic's police "harass" citizens" of the pseudo-state who come from Turkey, even asking to show the identity cards of the parents of people crossing from the occupied territories into the free areas and turning back those who do not present them, a report claims.
According to the GMP, this was reported today by the daily Dialloğ, claiming that in this way about 100 people every day are turned back because they cannot pass through the barricades. The paper also refers to a post by CL chairman Kudret Ozersai who referred to an incident he himself witnessed at the Ledra Palace barricade. In it, a young man, who was with his wife and children, was not allowed to enter the free areas, when he had been allowed to enter only last week. According to Mr. Ozersai, tension was caused by the incident.
In a post on the MDC, Qudret Ozersai said that he witnessed the same incident for the third time in the last two weeks. "For some reason, the Greek Cypriots are almost torturing our own people, whose parents were born in Turkey or come from Turkey, with an arbitrary practice that facades and contradicts and changes depending on the day in the identity card, driving license, marriage certificate required and the transit of children," he claimed.
Perhaps, he continued, because it bothers Greek Cypriots crossing and shopping in the occupied territories, due to the difference in foreign exchange, they are trying to block and make it difficult for T/C crossings.
