Erdogan holds UN personnel responsible for incident in Cyprus

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed elements of the United Nations forces for the incident that occurred on Friday in Cyprus, after the UN organization accused Turkish Cypriot forces of assaulting its soldiers on the divided island.

Erdogan stated that "the intervention of UN soldiers is unacceptable to us, through their involvement with the villagers and their inappropriate statements, UN soldiers have harmed their neutrality and their already damaged reputation."
