Following yesterday's incident in Mammari, where Turkish soldiers challenged Greek Cypriot farmers, calm prevails in the area. The farmers did not go to their fields today, and the Community Council is in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Police. The farmers are awaiting instructions from the Ministry regarding where they can cultivate, as the area they have been using for the past ten years is being disputed by the Turkish side. They are requesting compensation if it is determined that they were cultivating illegally. They emphasize that they do not want to risk their lives and that the United Nations are patrolling the area.
