Mr Chrysostomides was replying to a question on the actions by the Turkish occupation forces on Monday in the coastal area of Kato Pyrgos - Limnitis in Paphos, regarding the sighting of a Turkish occupation vessel and the placement of three large buoys by its crew in the area.

Mr Chrysosotmides described the actions by the Turkish occupation forces as “a usual phenomenon” and added: “The National Guard, the Ministry of Defence, have taken all necessary actions and made all necessary representations to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force and its reaction is anticipated once an onsite inspection of what happened is made.”"

"Greek Cypriot fishermen harassed by Turkish military boat
THE TURKISH military allegedly confiscated nets and harassed a couple of Greek Cypriot fishermen yesterday, in the sea just off Kato Pyrgos in Tilliria, according to the sailors.
Father and son Andreas Dracos and Christos Stylianou claimed that a Turkish soldier yielding a gun forced them to abandon their nets and return to shore yesterday morning.

According to their testimony a Turkish supply vessel approached their fishing boat, about two nautical miles off Kato Pyrgos and one mile away from the occupied Petra tou Limniti.

The Turkish boat was headed towards the occupied, Kokkina pocket, accessible to the Turks from the sea only.

As they neared the fishermen, they said a Turkish soldier brandished a gun and forced them to flee for the shore, where they reported the matter to police in Kato Pyrgos.

Two hours later Greek Cypriot security forces spotted a second Turkish boat approaching the area of the incident and gathering up the discarded nets.

The incident was reported to UNFICYP immediately.
