Greek and Turkish Cypriots Protest Against Turkey’s Planned Nuclear Plant

Greek and Turkish Cypriot organizations joined together on the 31st anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to protest Turkey’s plans to build a Russian-made nuclear plant on its southern coast, 90 kilometers away from Cyprus’ northern shoreline.

Protesters formed on Wednesday a human chain across the capital’s Ledra Street crossing point linking the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north with the internationally recognized south.
