Two hundred men of the special forces (MAT) with anti-demonstration equipment will be stationed in walled Nicosia, in a building used by the "fighters' association".
The newspaper Avroupa reports on the front page that in order to "tame" the TCs, the "police" and the army are not enough, now they are bringing in the riot police. Sener Levent writes that the 200 men from Turkey will wear the uniform of the "police" in the occupied territories and will be used against marches and demonstrations.
In a post late yesterday afternoon, the "mayor" of Nicosia, Mehmet Harmanji, wrote that the "demos" had asked for this space, vacated by the (occupying) army, to be turned into a youth centre for the whole area. "Our request was deemed too 'naive' by the authorities. Now, news has come out that 200 fully equipped police officers from Turkey will be stationed there to intervene in social events."
Mr. Haramnji concludes by writing that one day "we will definitely turn it into a center, don't worry at all. It will not be easy but we will succeed. Love wins sooner or later."
