Greek Cypriots Pierce Borders

Greek Cypriot politicians joined the rally, marking the 30th anniversary of the capture of Maras by Turks (During the Peace Operation of Turkey, which was prompted by the attempt to the Greek-backed Greek Cypriots to seize the whole island).

The demonstrators said in their rally "We want to return to our homes! Let the Turkish soldiers pulloff!"

Security measures were taken in the Turkish Cypriot side, during the rally. Greek Cypriots are feared to stage another action on the same spot on August 11.

Meanwhile, France prevented the Security Council of the United Nations from announcing a resolution lifting the isolation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
