Covered by all the press in the Occupied Areas is a story about the discovery of a bomb, (sticks of dynamite), found by workmen in the Occupied Part of Nic.
Some reports say that the sticks were wrapped in the filthy rag of "trnc" ...!!!
Looks like some people up there are up to the old tricks of fear-mongering.
Here's the CY PIO summary of the incident...
"... 5. Explosives were found in the occupied part of Nicosia
All of today’s Turkish Cypriot newspapers report on the explosive devices, which were found yesterday morning by workers of the “municipality” in a waste container in a side street in the occupied part of Nicosia.
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris Postasi, in its front page, under the title “We have seen this film before...” reports that two suspicious packages were found in the waste container containing 12 sticks of dynamite bounded together.
At a time when hopes for a solution are increasing, on a day when a protest march was planned to demonstrate against the terror acts in Turkey, ahead of a bi-communal concert, Nicosia woke to the news of a suspected bomb threat. This is the same story we heard during the Annan plan period.
The workers of the “Turkish Cypriot municipality” in the occupied part of Nicosia, Menderez Gurbudak and Abbut Biricik came across the suspect packages which were wrapped in a “TRNC flag”. The devices were immediately disabled by a police bomb squad of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus.
Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika (18.09.15) reports that Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci, following his briefing at the “assembly” answered the questions of the press regarding the incident. He stressed that only peace and prosperity is desired in the “TRNC” (translator’s note: the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus) and not violence. Noting that the incident should be investigated thoroughly and not to be taken lightly, Akinci said: “If there are people who believe they can achieve their goals through violence, they should cease doing so”.
On the same issue, the self-styled mayor of the occupied part of Nicosia Mehmet Harmanci said that this incident may be part of an effort of some circles to create fear in the community.
Columnist Hasan Hasturer, in his daily column in Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris (18.09.15), wonders where the explosive dynamite was found. Because as he writes, there are only two places in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus that explosives can be found, the army and the quarries. Hasturer believes that every kind of weapons and arms are going under a serious inspection at armed forces. “If there is a leakage in the system, then it means that the situation is serious and it should be investigated,” he adds.
Hasturer writes also that the quarries are taking permission from the “geology and mineral department” in order to import explosives. When they use all their dynamites apply for more, but there is no control in the stock. He further writes: “I tried to collect information before writing this article. I talked to some workers at the quarries and it seems that there is no serious control”. ..."
