[02] Defence Minister - Turkish provocations
Nicosia, Jul 6 (CNA) -- Cyprus Defence Minister Socrates Hasikos has said
the Turkish occupation forces are attempting to consolidate the new
positions they created in the south east of the island, which constitue a
serious violation of the current status quo.
The minister also said the Turkish moves humiliate the UN and are in fact
"an extension of the Turkish occupation", noting that the government is
taking the matter seriously and takes all the necessary action to revert
the situation to its prior state.
