Athienou and Tillyria press for crossings left out of Cyprus deal

Cyprus Mail reports that Athienou’s municipal council urged both Cypriot leaders to reconsider a crossing at Pyroi. Tillyria leaders are due to meet President Nikos Christodoulides on November 19 over a crossing they want at Kokkina. Neither crossing was included in the November 9 agreement on two openings. An opening timetable remains unverified.
