The director of the Agriculture Department of the Agricultural Department, Androulas Georgiou, denies that the disease that causes insect infestation and the effects of shoe pollen in the province of Famagusta has been transferred from the occupied territories to the "director" of the "agriculture department" of the occupied Akif Unsal.
As reported by the occupiers, Mr. Unsal still denies the allegations that the "competent" services in the occupied territories have not managed the matter properly by carrying out the appropriate spraying when necessary.
He later claimed that the disease may have been transmitted from the free areas and that they themselves had started chemical spraying six months ago.
Mr Unassal spoke of the "Dactylopius opuntiae" insect, which he said had appeared in the Larnaca area and that it later appeared in the occupied territories, according to his allegations.
He also said that the first cases appeared in September and that chemical sprays have been sprayed on the insect since then.
