Cyprus President Christodoulides announces no new pathways for irregular migration amid rising asylum-seekers, accusing Turkey of facilitating it.
Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides has announced that his government will not create new pathways for irregular migration amidst a rising influx of asylum-seekers. The 180-kilometer UN-controlled buffer zone will not become a conduit for illegal migration, says Christodoulides, who accuses Turkey of facilitating migrants' journey through its territory to northern Cyprus. Cyprus has seen a significant increase in migrants seeking asylum, but tough measures have reduced such crossings by over 85%.
