More than 190 million crossings have been recorded at Cyprus checkpoints since their opening in 2003, according to data published on Tuesday.

Figures analysed by journalist Cenk Mutluyakali for the Turkish Cypriot paper Yeni Duzen, show that a total of 190,281,960 crossings were recorded between April 23, 2003, when the Ledra Palace checkpoint first opened and March 2026.

The data indicates a steady rise in crossings over time, from approximately 4.5 million in 2003 to nearly 15 million annually in recent years.

SERIOUS INCIDENT IN PYLA - THE OCCUPYING ARMY LOWERED ARMOURED VEHICLES - SSTRONG FORCES FROM THE BRITISH BASES - Cy Mail 15/4 by Natasa Christoforou

Serious developments in the buffer zone in Pyla, as a result of Turkish moves in the area, as tanks were transferred to the site while strong forces of the British Bases were deployed. This was preceded by a dispute between the occupying forces and UNFICYP in the previous days. It is noted that in recent days, the Turkish occupation army had invaded the buffer zone, first with a police presence, to prevent veterinary services from visiting veterinary units.

It is, however, clear that the whole operation of the Turkish side is aimed at imposing new fait accompli. Today, the occupying forces have strengthened and upgraded their presence in the area, provoking the reaction of the Peacekeeping Force.
