Nicosia-Kyrenia Road Re-Opened under UNFICYP Control

The road between Nicosia, capital of Cyprus, and Kyrenia on the northern coast of the Island, was re-opened to all civilian traffic on 26 October. The road was opened following announcement on 22 October by Carlos A. Bernardes, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and General K.S. Thimayya, Commander of the UN Force in Cyprus, that arrangements had been completed for the implementation of the agreement on the re-opening of the road for civilian traffic, under the exclusive control of UNFICYP.
