The Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested the incident involving two United Nations Peacekeeping Force (BMBG) personnel, which caused damage and complaints on a beach in Famagusta.
In the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was emphasized that UN Peacekeeping Force officials were invited to the ministry today and the incident was strongly protested by the ministry.
The statement noted:
“The officials of our ministry requested from their interlocutors, in consultation with the TRNC police general directorate, that the incident be investigated seriously and promptly and that the damage they caused to the enterprise be compensated without delay.
In addition, they conveyed the petition of our operator regarding the compensation of the damage to their addressees.
During the meeting, it was reminded that the UN peacekeeping force is a guest in our country and that they must abide by the rules and laws of our country.
