Denktas: Let Us Clear Away Mines

Denktas said that this time he expected from the Greek Cypriot side to respond positively. Denktas stressed in his letter that, with the clearing of mines, passages between the two sides would be more secure. According to Denktas, this would create an environment of trust between the two sides militarily and would contribute to the attempts of a comprehensive solution.

The number of mines along the Green Line dividing Cyprus into two is unknown. Canada offered help in clearing away the mines in Cyprus in 1998.
