Greek Cypriot police intercept two sets of migrants from north Cyprus

Greek Cypriot police on Saturday held two groups of migrants crossing illegally from north Cyprus near Athienou.

According to report by Cyprus Mail, the first group of migrants were six men from Iraq and Syria, and when questioned by police about where they crossed from, they failed to explain.

The six men were taken to the Pournara migrant camp near Kokkinotrimithia.

The second group of 30 were found just after 6:30am crossing in the same area. Police took them to the Athienou station for examinations and were later transfered to Pournara camp.
