Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots are queuing at the check points of Ledra Palace and Pergamos on Thursday, as 733 Greek Cypriots have crossed from Ledra Palace and 20 from Pergamos. So far 330 Turkish Cypriots have crossed into the free areas of the Republic, despite long queues due to “formalities”.

The newspaper “Volkan” deals with the procedures at the check points, while “Vatan” reports that Denktash’s initiative is “fairly surprising”. “Kibrisli” refers to a “historical day”.
“Yeni Duzen” reports that “People have won”.
The newspaper “Afrika” highlights that the “Turkish Cypriots felt free for the first time” and stressed that the “opposition” parties have broken away from the Turkish Cypriot people.
“Birlik” has expressed its discontent for the Greek Cypriot government for not allowing the crossing of Turkish Cypriot cars in the free areas.
