Greek Cypriot Released on Bail After Military Zone Violation; Trial to Resume on February 19
A Greek Cypriot man arrested for allegedly crossing into Northern Cyprus while collecting wild asparagus and found in possession of 16 hunting cartridges has been released on bail following court proceedings in Nicosia.
Andreas Papatisu was tried at the Nicosia District Court on charges of unlawful possession of explosive materials. The court ordered him to sign a bail bond of 1 million Turkish lira and to maintain good behavior for a period of five years. No prison sentence was imposed.
Papatisu was detained after reportedly entering Northern Cyprus territory near Alaykoy without realizing he had crossed the boundary, leading to charges of violating a military restricted zone. The court ruled that the separate case concerning the military zone violation will be heard at the Military Court in Nicosia on February 19.
The ruling was delivered by Judge Zehra Yakkut Bilgec.
