TURKISH CYPRIOT CHAMBER OF ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS TO CARRY OUT A DEMONSTRATION AT METEHAN

Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Architects and Engineers (KTMMOB) carried out a demonstration at Metehan Check Point this morning, with the aim of protesting the “anachronistic applications of Greek Cypriot administration to their members”.

In a statement issued by the Chamber on 28 June 2006, it was announced that some architects trying to cross over to South from the Metehan check-point were arrested since they had architectural plans and documents issued by the Turkish Cypriot authorities in their possession.

Turkish Cypriot architect, Osman Sarper, was arrested at Metehan check-point on 27 June 2006, for carrying architectural plans and documents and remanded in custody by the Greek Cypriot court for eight days on 28 June 2006.

The Chairman of KTMMOB Ahmet Ulaş, in the written statement, pointed out that they considered the arresting of the architects as the “action of anti-settlement Greek Cypriots” and said that they expect the architects to be handed their projects back and released as soon as possible.
