The UN had brokered an agreement regarding several square miles of the buffer-zone, an agreement that allowed farmers from the Free Areas to tend to their lands in the BZ for the first time in near 40 years.

The land had been de-mined and agreements seemingly reached with the TA to allow this to happen.

The TA have broken the agreement by allowing others to go on to the land and farm it.

This coming Saturday 7th, farmers from the Free Areas, the owners of the lands in question, are assembling with their tractors at the crossing-point at Astromeritis with the intention of crossing in to the BZ to farm their lands as per the agreement.

Here's the first bit of the story for greek-speakers...

"... Κάλεσμα για συμμετοχή σε μεγάλη κινητοποίηση απευθύνει ο Γενικός Γραμματέας της ΕΚΑ, Πανίκος Χάμπας, στις 7 Δεκεμβρίου, στο οδόφραγμα Αστρομερίτη, όπου θα πραγματοποιηθεί η πορεία των τρακτέρ και άλλων αγροτικών μηχανημάτων "Αντίσταση και Αγώνας", με στόχο να περάσουν από το οδόφραγμα και να πάνε μέχρι τη Μόρφου, αγωνιζόμενοι για το δικαίωμα "να οργώσουμε ξανά την κατεχόμενή μας γη".

"Σας καλώ όλους, όλους τους πατριώτες, να είστε εκεί", είπε ο ΓΓ της ΕΚΑ, προσθέτοντας πως "είναι μια πρωτότυπη εκδήλωση και τη χρωστάμε σε όλους αυτούς, οι οποίοι όργωναν κάποτε την κατεχόμενή μας γη".

Μετά τη συμφωνία αφαίρεσης των ναρκών στη ζώνη κατάπαυσης του πυρός, είπε ο κ. Χάμπας, σε δηλώσεις του στη Δημοσιογραφική Εστία, στη Λευκωσία, "στη συμφωνία περιλαμβανόταν και το ότι, μετά τα 200 μέτρα από το τουρκικό φυλάκιο, τη γη θα μπορούν να καλλιεργούν οι Ελληνοκύπριοι"..."

The Turks renege on a agreement?never

[Flying Horse]

I had read about this in an article earlier this week, and my thoughts were 'too bloody right they should just do it'.
This article I can't read (Greek)so I'm presuming its about the same subject. Farmers from Pano Zodeia, and neighbouring villages?



Obviously anybody taking a stand from around Zodeia gets my attention, good luck to them!

Yes, wouldn't be surprised if there were villagers from Occupied Zodhia involved...

... but the land in question and it's a huge tract of some 20+ sq kms, may not be in the BZ.

This is what House President of the Republic Omirou had to say about the matter ...

"... The House President said representations would be made to the UN, and the Republic of Cyprus would demand that the land in question is given back to its owners.

Omirou pointed out that this land was not in the buffer zone but in the areas in the domain of the Republic of Cyprus, which had merely given the right to the peacekeeping force to monitor the area and maintain the ceasefire line... "

So question ... where is this land...???

Lordo,
With respect, my hubbys family on his fathers side came from Zodeia. Fled the place. Refugees AFAIK.
Your lot aren't the only ones to have been killed by 'Greeks'. YES your read that right. I aren't going to divulge any more information on that score.

Unfortunately both his parents are dead, and hubby has no idea who, where or if any family are left on that side of the family in Cyprus.
(IF anyone reading this might be able to help find them, drop me a PM)

SO Lordo, be quiet.Anything to do with that part of the world hits my heartstrings Humanity isn't your strong point.

initial meetings have taken place with the local councils of Katokopia, Pano Zodia, Avlona and Peristerona and that more meetings with other communities would follow
