New York, Dec 9 (CNA) -- Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said here today the UN believe that the slight injury sustained by a Turkish Cypriot and the presence of two Greek Cypriots in the buffer zone are two unrelated incidents.

The Spokesman also said this issue is not offered for political exploitation which Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash is trying to achieve and refused further comment on the matter.
