The occupying army is "besieging" Deryneia - New developments in the dead zone

After the opening of the closed area of ​​Famagusta, the announcement by Erdoğan to build 1.200 houses for settlers and the opening of the beach at Agios Memnon for Turkish emperors, another challenge comes to be added to the occupied area of ​​Deryneia and Famagusta.

According to the Mayor of Deryneia, Andros Karagiannis, in his statements on Sigma's Front Page show, for a week now there has been a tension in the creation of fortification works to the right of the roadblock up to the Kappari area in Paralimni, which, as he said, are most likely being built for placement of defensive armament of the occupying army.

He pointed out that the distance from Deryneia is about 100 meters. "The citizens were worried and I, as Mayor, sent a letter on Monday to the Ministry of Defense and also to the National Guard so that they would inform us. Our experience tells us that these works are fortifications.

The movements of the occupying army seem to be aimed at creating tension but also accomplished in anticipation of the appointment of the UN Secretary General's envoy to the Cyprus conflict. These movements in the dead zone are made in continuation of the challenges in Agios Dometios and Pyla.

The Government Spokesperson yesterday, commenting on the reports of the mayor of Deryneia, clarified that the Turkish actions in the area are not within the dead zone. Nevertheless, there is a concern from the Greek Cypriot side with the competent authorities monitoring the matter.

According to the information, the Turkish side has now clarified its objectives in terms of creating a scenario which at any moment can lead to tension and also lead to an explosion of crisis to challenge the status of the buffer zone.

On the other hand, as political analysts report, it becomes even clearer that the Turkish side takes seriously the regime that exists in the free province of Famagusta, which in the event of any crisis erupting and in the event of the closure of the military bases of Dekelia, the area of ​​Kokkinohoria it will be cut off from the rest of the Republic's regions without the possibility of any military reinforcement.
