According to the chairman of the Coordinating Committee of Karpasia, Nikos Fala, the occupying authorities have recently taken a new provocative action. As Mr. Falas stated in his statements to the newspaper FILELEFTHEROS, the so-called local authorities of Rizokarpaso, took the building complex in Rizokarpaso which belongs to the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas to turn it into a Youth Center… 

It is a large building complex, as he mentioned, in which the offices of the Monastery were housed until a few months after the Turkish invasion.

The occupying authorities carried out interventions in the building complex, in order to serve the needs of its new use. "This comes after the seizure of the olive mill of the church of the Holy Trinity in Rizokarpaso," said Mr. Falas.

It is also reminded that in addition to these, as "FILELEFTHEROS" published on Sunday, the bulldozers entered the archeological site of Agios Filonas in Karpasia.

An area that is part of the Natura 2000 project and for which the European Commission intervened about a year ago, so that the decision to build the "American University of Kyrenia" would not go ahead.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, he visited the occupied Karpasia accompanied by his associates, the UN Special Rapporteur on Religious Freedom, who met with the Treasurer of the Monastery of the Apostle Andreas Papazacharias and representatives of the trapped. During the meeting, the issue of the violation of the religious and other freedoms of the detainees was discussed, as well as other issues. Yesterday he had a meeting with the Coordinating Committee of Karpasia, which expressed its satisfaction for the interest shown in the issue of trapped people.

The UN Special Rapporteur will then prepare a report on the whole issue.
