The United Nations also brought up the agenda. Last week, it temporarily banned all off-duty peacekeeping military personnel from crossing north, amid allegations that two UN soldiers had been wreaking havoc on Glapsides beach in Famagusta.
According to the Daily Mail’s report, UN investigators say the incident “could lead to the deterioration of relations between the local people and the UN, and damage to the UN’s reputation”.
In this context, it was stated that a temporary ban was imposed on all ‘off-duty’ UN personnel who wanted to go north since the incident.
On the other hand, UN Peacekeeping Spokesperson Aleem Siddique confirmed the development to the Cyprus Mail newspaper and said, “The temporary ban will continue throughout the investigation.”
What happened?
Nihat Akay, who is a water sports operator at Glaspsides Beach in Famagusta, claimed that two UN Peacekeepers were causing a riot on the beach.
Akay said that two UN soldiers had an accident in the sea with the jet-skis they had rented and that they had turned their marine vehicles into scrap.
Akay claimed that the people in question were alcoholic and stated that he had suffered a loss of 13 thousand Euros.
