GREEK CYPRIOT DEPUTY MATSAKIS STEALS
TURKISH FLAG
Greek Cypriot MEP Marios Matsakis yesterday (1 November)
morning climbed up the Turkish Cypriot sentry post in Akincilar and pulled
down the Turkish flag.
According to Greek Cypriot radio, Maksakis climbed up
the sentry post that is currently being built by the Turkish army on the
old Akincilar-Kirackoy mainroad and pulled down the Turkish flag from the
flag pole.
After UNFICYP and Turkish soldiers sent police to the
area, Matsakis climbed down from the flag pole and escaped.
Recently the European Parliament lifted DIKO MEP
Matasakis' diplomatic immunity because he bribed a police officer and in a
sudden raid carried out on his house in Pirga on 24 October Greek Cypriot
police confiscated many unregistered historical and antique artefacts.
In a second raid carried out on his house on 29 October
Greek Cypriot police also confiscated several antique wooden chests and
various pieces of furniture.
