The Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that the intervention of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force (BMBG) in the construction of the Pile – Yigitler road is unacceptable.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a press statement about the UN’s intervention in the construction of the Pile-Yiğitler road.

In the statement, which stated that the construction of the Pile-Yiğitler road was started yesterday in order to facilitate the access of the citizens living in the village of Pile to the TRNC lands and their lands in Pile, it is very clear that; The road construction project has a purely humanitarian purpose. Despite the situation, the police and the road construction team, who were present in the region to ensure security in the region, physically intervened in the TRNC territory, and the road construction was tried to be prevented. The UN’s attitude during this incident is unacceptable,” it said.

In the statement, it was stated that the situation was distorted in the UN’s statement and similar statements of some countries, and it was claimed that “UN soldiers and vehicles were attacked”, and the following was noted:

“These allegations are unfounded. We have only the police in the field and the duty of our police in the TRNC territory is to ensure the safety of the civilian team that carries out the road works. The tension in the region was caused by the attitude of the UN soldiers and personnel, and the physical intervention and obstruction of our team that continues the road construction and the police who ensured the safety of this team.

Despite the constructive attitude of the Turkish Cypriot side regarding the Pile – Yiğitler road project, which has a history of more than 25 years, and all the calls it has made in this direction, steps have not been taken to facilitate the daily lives of our citizens living in Pile and our goodwill has not been reciprocated. For this reason, the Turkish Cypriot side, which is the equal partner of the Island, started the necessary works for the completion of the Pile -Yiğitler road, by informing the UNHCR.

On the other hand, despite all the objections and protests of the Turkish Cypriot side, the Larnaca-Dhekelia-Ayia Napa road construction and the Pile-Voroklini road construction, which was built by the Greeks in 1996 by deliberate expropriation of Turkish lands, and the Pile-Voroklini road construction, which was also built by the Greeks in 2004, were allowed. has given. The biased and unacceptable attitude of the UN to the Turkish Cypriot side today not only makes the UN’s existence in our country questionable, but also damages the credibility and credibility of the United Nations.

Our expectation from the UN, which maintains the presence and activities of the goodwill of the Turkish Cypriot side in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, is to review this biased attitude, immediately put an end to the physical intervention and prevention efforts in our Pile-Yiğit road construction works, and to be at an equal distance from the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots in their discourse and actions. is to adopt an attitude.”
