Foreign Minister Turgay Avci has condemned the latest attacks against Turkish Cypriot properties in the mixed village of Pile.
The windows of three shops and a vehicle owned by 4 Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of Pile were smashed last night by unknown vandals.
The bust of Ataturk in the village’s Turkish Primary School was also desecrated with white chalk paint.
Issuing a written statement today, Foreign Minister Turgay Avci reminded that Turkish Cypriot villagers in Pile and their properties have been subject to frequent such attacks.
Avci said that the failure to punish those responsible for such attacks on the Greek Cypriot Side only served to further encourage fanatic Greek Cypriot organizations.
He called on the Greek Cypriot Administration to find and bring to justice those responsible for the attacks.
Foreign Minister Avci also said that the TRNC Foreign Ministry will continue its efforts, in collaboration with the UN Peacekeeping Force, to establish and implement measures that will ensure that such attacks are not repeated.
