Occupation forces arrested two Greek Cypriots, accusing them of illegally entering the occupied areas and violating a so-called military prohibited zone.
According to reports in the Turkish Cypriot press, the incident occurred on July 12, 2026, when the two Greek Cypriots crossed into the occupied areas via the Pyrgos checkpoint.
During checks, they were stopped and arrested, with occupation forces alleging that they had not completed the required crossing procedures and had entered a military prohibited area.
Criminal proceedings have been launched against them, and following the conclusion of investigations, they are expected to appear again before the “court” in the occupied areas.
