Greek Cypriots Kidnapped by Turkish Commandos

Turkish commandos (not Turkish police, as on other occasions) apparently kidnapped two Greek Cypriots in the buffer zone near Bergama, near Dherynia on Wednesday, military reports in Athens said.

Both victims, aged 42 and 33 years, had visited the area early on Wednesday in order to pluck wild asparagus and since then their whereabouts have gone missing.

A report on defencenet said that two vehicles with Turkish special forces interrupted them, and after threatening them with gunfire dragged them into the occupied area of Nicosia, where they are currently being held.

Cyprus has mobilized both the national guard and police, as well as contacted all UN forces. Cyprus officials are trying to remain calm, because they believe that the move involves the STRATEGY agreement between Cyprus and Israel on the delimitation of search and rescue in the sea area between the two states, where both nations will practically share the southeastern Mediterranean.
