The European Union has expressed support to the opening of the Yesilirmak crossing point.
The EU says it sees the opening of a new crossing point as an important step forward to build confidence between the two peoples of Cyprus.
The EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule, who marked at opening ceremony for the construction of the first stage of the road to be used along the Yesilirmak crossing point, welcomed the development and said the opening of a new crossing point on the Green Line will offer new opportunities for the daily lives of the peoples of Cyprus.
The EU is contributing to the road construction with 2.5 million Euros, saved from the EU Aid Programme for the Turkish Cypriots.
It is the largest contributor to the project which is worth 5 million Euros in total.
